Combest To Speak At Spring Clinic
Larry Combest, former Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and House Select Committee on Intelligence will be our special guest and keynote speaker for our Spring Management Clinic Biloxi, March 28-30.
Combest grew up on a farm and ranch in west Texas and was elected ten times to the U.S. House of Representatives from the State of Texas.
As Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Combest applied his farming background to his job and took a proactive approach to shaping sound federal farm policies. Combest’s common sense legislative record began on his first day in Congress, cosponsoring the Balanced Budget Amendment. Recognized for fiscally-responsible voting, Combest believes families should expect to keep more of what they earn and deserve effective management of their government.
Through his experience as a former small business owner, Combest was a strong voice for the job-making contributions that small businesses make to families and communities across America. As a senior member of the House Small Business Committee, Combest’s central focus was on regulatory reform. The National Federation of Independent Business recognized Larry Combest as a Guardian of Small Business and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce consistently honored him with their prestigious “Spirit of Enterprise” award.
Larry Combest was born in Memphis, Texas on March 20, 1945, a fourth generation West Texas farmer, educator and small business owner. He holds a 1969 Bachelor of Business Administration degree from West Texas State University in Canyon, an honorary Doctorate of Strategic Intelligence from the Joint Military Intelligence College and an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Lubbock Christian University. Combest also served as a Legislative Aide to former U.S. Senator John Tower from 1971-78.
He is a recipient of the Gerald W. Thomas Outstanding Agriculturalists Award For Public Service, the Lubbock Area Foundation’s “Hero of the Year” Award, and the “Legislator of the Year” for the National Association of Farm Service Agency Employees.
