About our topic:  Want to know how to navigate getting your city leadership to invest in natives, avoid common political pitfalls, and identify several programs that can be replicated in your community? TJ Gilmore, mayor of Lewisville, Texas, will be providing all of that and more in his presentation.

About our speaker: Mayor TJ Gilmore is an Arizona native who’s been a Texas transplant since 2001. His service to the community stretches back to working on boards and commissions in 2004 until he was elected to city council in 2011 and became mayor in 2021. He’s married to his college sweetheart, has three recent college graduate children and can’t pass up watching a good Star Trek episode. TJ is always looking out for ways to leave the community better than he found it and loves how plants bring people together — even though he has a black thumb.
