Tejano Center

Meet Luncheon Co-Chair Ric Campo - A Champion for Community & Education! ?? We are honored to have Ric Campo Co-Chair Tejano Center’s 6th Annual State of the Center Luncheon. A steadfast champion of Houston’s economic and educational advancement, Ric’s leadership is instrumental in expanding access to early childhood education. As CEO of Camden Property Trust since 1993, Ric has transformed the company from a regional real estate firm into a national industry leader valued at over $16 billion. With more than 40 years of experience, he has built an organization renowned for excellence in management, development, and innovation. Beyond the corporate world, Ric plays a pivotal role in shaping Houston’s future. As Chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority, he helps oversee one of the nation’s most vital trade hubs. He also serves on the boards of Central Houston, Inc., the Greater Houston Partnership, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Houston Branch, BakerRipley, and The Coalition for the Homeless—organizations dedicated to improving the city’s economic strength and quality of life. Most notably, Ric’s role as President of the Board of Managers for Houston ISD reflects his deep commitment to education as a catalyst for opportunity. He believes that every child, regardless of background, deserves the resources to succeed—an ethos that drives his leadership in both business and community service. Join Ric in making a lasting impact. Support early childhood education today and help shape a brighter future for the next generation.? ?? ???
