Janice Knebl, DO, professor of Internal Medicine, will present the keynote address. The Honorable J.D. Johnson, Tarrant County Commissioner, will receive the TCOM Founders’ Medal. Robert Lansford, senior trust advisor for private client services at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, will receive the Mary E. Luibel Distinguished Service Award.
