About the event

​Civitas, Advancing American Freedom, and Arena Hall are hosting a discussion on Thursday, October 2nd at the Texas Women’s Federation. Vice President Mike Pence will join us for an intimate conversation focused on American dynamism and economic innovation.

​This won’t be political—think of it as a CEO policy roundtable with some of the most interesting builders and investors in Austin. We’re keeping it to 40–50 leaders who are actively working on growing a vibrant U.S. economy and responding to global competitive threats.​

​About Mike Pence:

​Mike Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, on June 7, 1959, into a family that epitomized the American Dream, instilling in him values of hard work, faith, and family. After graduating from Hanover College and Indiana University School of Law, he embarked on a multifaceted career, including law practice, hosting a talk show, serving as a Congressman for six terms, and championing limited government and fiscal responsibility. Pence then was elected the 50th Governor of Indiana, focusing on tax cuts, job creation, education reform, and infrastructure investment while maintaining fiscal responsibility. His accomplishments in Indiana led to his selection as the 48th Vice President of the United States.  Pence’s conservative philosophy, inspired by Ronald Reagan, led to his founding Advancing American Freedom which continues to advocate for faith, family, and liberty as foundational American values.
