CEOs Like to Party, Too

Virgin Airlines wasn’t the only one hosting a bash last night. D CEO kicked off the holiday party season with a newsmakers event at the Westin Galleria. Among the top execs attending were (pictured, from left, in photo by Matthew Shelley) Eric Affeldt, CEO of ClubCorp Inc.; Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg, and the team’s COO Rick George. The three had reasons to celebrate; Greenberg and George for the Rangers’ terrific season and Affeldt for recently being named the “Most Powerful Person in Golf” by Golf Inc. magazine. Other newsmakers on hand: CiCi’s CEO Mike Shumsky, George Seay of Annandale Capital, Link America’s Andres Ruzo, KRLD personality David Johnson, and North Texas Commission CEO Mabrie Jackson. Jorge Calderon, Dallas market president of Capital One, which sponsored the event, gave away a baseball autographed by Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, and two home plate seats at a 2011 Rangers game. Ryan Fox with Hinojosa Architects was the lucky winner of the prize package.
