Congratulations the Hurst Mayor Henry Wilson, the 2024 Distinguished Leadership Award Recipient!



The second longest-tenured elected official across Tarrant County cities, in addition to being one the longest-tenured in Texas, Mayor Wilson worked at Bell Helicopter for over 43 years retiring as Chief of Airframe Structures. During this time he balanced his time serving on Hurst City Council starting in 1985. Once elected Mayor, he represented not only the City of Hurst, but Northeast Tarrant County as President of the Texas Municipal League (TML) and Chair of the Regional Transportation Council (RTC). 

We're excited to announce Chris Cassidy, President and CEO of National Medal of Honor Museum will be our featured speaker for this years Annual Awards Luncheon. 

In August 2021, the Board of Directors for the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation selected Mr. Cassidy to be President and CEO, where he now leads the project to build the iconic Museum, Monument, and Institute. From humble beginnings in the upper Northeast, he chose a life of service to country. First, as an elite Navy SEAL and then as NASA's Chief Astronaut. Scheduled to open on March 25, 2025, the National Medal of Honor Museum is a museum that honors United States Armed Forces Medal of Honor recipients.
