WHO WE ARE

OUR FOUNDERS

INAUGURAL CLASS

The Dallas Summit was established in 1989 by a group of visionary Dallas women seeking a greater civic voice and leadership impact for women. Paramount to this group was the opportunity to leverage both the individual and collective actions, connections, and experiences of its members to serve as an influence for good in our community. The Dallas Summit’s active membership of more than 100 purpose-driven women leaders represents the broad range of our community’s business and civic life. Dallas Summit members, called Summit Sisters, represent diversity in age, ethnicity, political affiliation, and professional or civic leadership. They value the Dallas Summit as a forum to gather, learn about, and share ideas and information important to women in our community.
