The 157 members of the Go Texan Contests Committee have a reputation that is known in 61 Texas counties. However, this band of hard-working committee volunteers aren’t outlaws; they’re good sports, and fierce and friendly competition aimed at promoting the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is what they are all about.
Every year, hundreds of parents face a week full of great anticipation and anxiety as they send their sons and daughters off to the city to compete in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. While these moms and dads know the value of such an experience, their parental instincts also tell them that anything could happen to their prized possessions while away from their watchful eyes. If it weren’t for a dedicated group of physicians and nurses that comprise the Health Committee, their worries might be greater.
Several Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo committees require good sales skills, but the people who make up the Show’s Membership Committee have to be among the
best.
The spirit-filled effort that the leaders of the Show of today place into planning and contemplating the Show of tomorrow is embodied in Jim Windham, Executive Committee member. An investment banker by profession, he combines his business planning and analytical skills with a deep love and respect for the vitality of the Show to help ably guide it into the future.
