Tom Dunning, a 1965 graduate of the University of Texas with a B.B.A., has been very active in civic, political, non-profits, and has severed in leadership positions for the city of Dallas and the state of Texas.

Dallas Mayors have appointed Tom to chair a number of important boards. In 1987, when Dallas was facing a major racial crisis, Mayor Annette Strauss asked Tom to form Dallas Together and serve as his first Chair. Mayor Ron Kirk asked Tom to Chair the DFW International Airport Board and to primarily establish the Universities Center in Downtown Dallas which would allow Dallasites an opportunity to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree from a state university in Dallas. Mayor Laura Miller asked Tom to be the first Homeless Czar and to form a committee to determine where the homeless assistance center, the Bridge, should be located.
Governors of Texas have appointed Tom to serve on the Texas Department of Transportation, the Texas Department of Human Services, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Chair of the Texas Water Development Board. Tom also served as Chairman of the Dallas Citizens Council, the Dallas Assembly and the Dallas Alliance.
