At every meeting Aggies can display their business cards, brochures, and other literature on a table at the front of the meeting area designated for that purpose. Each participant receives the opportunity to tell the group who they are, what they do, and what an ideal client for them might be. After self introductions, the group gets to hear from a special guest speakers who have been previously scheduled to address the group at length (10-20 minutes).
Upon the conclusion of the formal meeting, Aggies are encouraged to mingle and network on an informal basis. The Roundtable also compiles a directory of the participants. This directory includes name, title, company, address, various phone numbers, and a brief description of the Aggie’s business. There is a nominal charge for the directory to cover copy costs.

Guest Speaker/Program:
No speaker currently scheduled for this week’s Friday Luncheon; join us instead for general "good bull" Aggie fellowship.
Dallas Aggies have been meeting every Friday for lunch during much of the club’s 100+ year history. The DAMC’s weekly Friday Luncheon often times features a guest speaker; and when applicable - the Friday Luncheon speaker program will commence at Noon and end before 1:00pm.
Aggie business professionals are encouraged to use this luncheon as an additional means to network with Texas A&M former students in the Dallas area. It’s a great way to meet Aggies of all ages and an opportunity to fill your database with like-minded business men and women.
The chef at Metro Grill has compiled a special lunch menu for the DAMC - with selected options available weekly for $12 or $14; price includes entree, drink (tea, coffee, or water only), AND tip. The purchase of lunch is not required for entry into the DAMC’s Friday Luncheon.
Metro Grill is your friendly neighborhood bar and grill, located on the west side of Central Expressway - north of Fitzhugh and just south of Knox/Henderson. For detailed directions, please call Metro Grill at 214-261-6000. |

About The Award
James Wishart Williams was born on September 13, 1895, in Hamilton, Texas. The son of native Southerners, he graduated from Hamilton High School in 1913, and went on to attend the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas from 1913 to 1919, with two one-year interruptions. He graduation in 1919 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering; however, he is considered part of the class of 1918. He served in the United States Army from November 1917 to February 1919, and was discharged with the rank of Second Lieutenant.
Mr. Williams was well known for his modesty, his thinking in terms of other people, and his work ethic. Never one to boast about himself or his accomplishments, he was nevertheless named as an elder and treasurer of his Lakeview church. He enjoyed an outstanding life and career that was enhanced by his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Mr. Williams passed away in Dallas on October 14, 1970.
In his honor, the Dallas A&M Club began a custom that recognizes the ideals and integrity that Mr. Williams personified. The Jimmy Williams Distinguished Service Award is presented to the Dallas area person who has demonstrated commitment to career and family, contributions to the local community, and devotion to Texas A&M University.
The Jimmy Williams Distinguished Service Award enables the Dallas A&M Club to acknowledge and celebrate the success, dedication, and contributions of not only one of its own, but also of Texas A&M University and all that it represents.
