Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) March 11, 2014 -- An Evening with Allen West, “For the Future of America” was held at the Hilton Texarkana Convention Center on Monday, February 24th, 2014, to benefit the Allen West Foundation, with over 222 attendees. The first part of the evening was a speech by Lt. Col. Allen West that was open to the public which was followed by a lively question and answer period. Students from Texarkana College as well as JROTC Students also attended the speech as guests of the Allen West Foundation. A social hour and reception took place immediately following the speech where guests had their photos taken with Col. Allen West, and lined up for a chance to speak with him one on one.

The Allen West Foundation owes an enormous debt of gratitude to the Distinguished Hosts that evening for their generous sponsorship of the event. The Hosts for the event were; Skip Colvin, Steve Conner, Dr. Jeff DeHann, Fay Jay Durant, Victoria Ellerfritz, Curt Green, David Haak, Pete Kaburick, Steve Ledwell, John Norton, Dr. Reed Pierce, Cliff Robertson, Mike Sandifer, Bobby Shipp, Coach Barry Switzer, Ray Walsh, Bob White, Dylan White, Dr. John White, Rusty White, Jay Wommack, and William Wright.

A private dinner for the hosts was held with Allen West later in the evening along with some special guests including former Heisman Trophy winner and professional NFL player Billy Sims, who currently owns over 35 Billy Sims Barbecue restaurants. Allen West entertained the dinner guests with an impromptu speech and thanked Bob White, owner of Equichase LTD., for facilitating the event along with his business partner Curt Green, owner of Curt Green & Company LLC. Col. West conducted a more intimate question and answer period after the dinner and posed for photos with the guests who included former Oklahoma Sooners and Dallas Cowboys coach Barry Switzer.

The elegant and delicious dinner was enjoyed by all and significant recognition goes to Jennifer Montoya, Director of Convention Services, and the event staff at the Hilton Texarkana Convention Center for conducting a seamless event. The staff at the Hilton Garden Inn made sure that Allen West and the staff of the Allen West Foundation experienced an extremely comfortable stay at this contemporary upscale hotel.

Col. West visited United States Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) unit at the Arkansas High School Program on the same day of the event. Major Gary L. O'Day, Sr., USAF, Retired, instructor of the unit, said, “Great emphasis on leadership and personal academic development. Well received by the cadets. Honored to have Lt. Col. Allen West at our unit. “

In the tenth grade Allen West joined the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program. Congressman West received his Bachelor's degree while on an ROTC scholarship at the University of Tennessee and later went on to get a Master's degree from Kansas State University, both in political science, and entered the United States Army in 1983 when he graduated from the University of Tennessee. Congressman West was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993 and he accredits the JROTC with forming the basis for his life of service and commitment to the nation. He firmly believes that education is the great equalizer and that with a good education any child in America can live his or her dream. To that end the Allen West Foundation was formed as Congressman West’s legacy; to educate, engage and inspire the next generation of conservative leaders.

About The Allen West Foundation: The Allen West Foundation was established in January, 2013, to educate, engage and inspire the next generation of conservative veteran, minority and female leaders. In addition to directly supporting organizations such as Young Marines, Junior ROTC and Navy Sea Cadets, the Foundation conducts various forums, educational events and leadership training seminars across the country.
