Our President, Mitchell Glieber, is driving success on and off the course! Read more about his incredible leadership and our Fair's impact in the full article. 👇 Thank you so much, D CEO!
On the Links With: State Fair of Texas® President Mitchell Glieber Don’t challenge Mitchell Glieber to a fairway-hitting competition. On a perfect spring day at Royal Oaks Country Club, the State Fair of Texas president brought his A-game from the tee box. And it’s not like the 57-year-old was bumping it 180 yards down the fairway—the former SMU wide receiver was ripping it 250. As the top executive for the State Fair of Texas, Glieber’s job is to ensure that the 24-day event is true to its roots yet innovative, fun yet secure, and—of course—a booming economic engine for the region. In 2023, the State Fair of Texas, a nonprofit event and organization, not only welcomed over 2.3 million visitors but also generated $80 million in revenue. With operating expenses just over $70.5 million, the fair was able to increase its net assets from $88.8 million to $102.5 million. The fair’s impact extended beyond financial success, contributing nearly $15.8 million to local philanthropic causes and over $17.4 million to more than 3,000 students through its Big Tex Scholarship Program. Glieber anticipates these numbers will continue to rise.
