The Leadership Luncheon has been an annual occurrence for the Murphy Center for
Entrepreneurship since 2002 when General Norman Schwarzkopf was the Keynote Speaker. Our luncheon has featured high-profile speakers, including George Foreman, Nolan Ryan, and H. Ross
Perot, celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit with the business leaders of Dallas/Fort Worth. Proceeds from the Leadership Luncheon are used for scholarships, student awards, and programs
offered through the Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship.
UNT's premier off-campus event, the Leadership Luncheon is a celebration of entrepreneurship. Student scholarships are awarded, donors are
recognized, and winners of the New Venture Creation Contest are announced. We invite a well-known leader to give a Keynote Speech and recognize the recipient of the Murphy Award which honors
Lifetime Achievement in Entrepreneurship; past recipients include
Trammell Crow, H. Ross Perot, Ebby Halliday, and Sam Wyly.
