Chris Wallace
Chris Wallace was named President/CEO of the North Texas Commission in June of 2018. Under Wallace’s leadership, the NTC is quickly building its strength and capacity uniting the region’s most prominent leaders to tackle the greatest challenges for our 13-county area. Today, the NTC is now more relevant than ever and manages the region’s unified legislative advocacy voice at the state and federal levels. In addition to his advocacy and education-focused vision, Wallace has also placed a greater emphasis on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion with the establishment of a task force in 2018 that developed the region’s first DE&I Summit.
