Shortly after Whataburger announces selling a majority interest to a Chicago-based investment company, the Bryan/College Station chamber of commerce announces senior vice president and chief restaurant operating officer Rob Rodriguez is the guest speaker at next month's leadership luncheon.

The chamber's membership manager, Carrie Archer, says they have been working with Whataburger's scheduling team well before the corporate announcement.

Tickets are on sale for the July 10 luncheon that benefits programs that includes Leadership Brazos, Junior Leadership Brazos, and the Leadership Brazos Alumni Association.

The luncheon is also the first date that Leadership Brazos 2020 applications are available.
