51st New Teachers Luncheon August 12, 2009

The Richardson Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to host the 51st Annual New Teachers Luncheon. This annual event, presented by the Education Committee, honors new teachers entering the Richardson Independent School District (RISD). This event brings out Nancy Barry, who will utilize her comprehensive business experience and apply it to this year’s speech “The Power of You.” Her passionate speaking will inspire young adults to become successful in whatever career they pursue. Since 1958, our area businesses, organizations and individuals have expressed their strong interest in maintaining quality education for the students, faculty and staff of RISD by supporting the annual New Teachers Luncheon.
