BRIGHT STARS IN THE TEXAS SKY T HONORING OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE BARRY G. A NDREWS

Barry G. Andrews is a Texas business and civic leader who is committed to his business, family and community. He is the owner and CEO of Andrews Distributing Company that serves South Texas and Dallas-based Andrews Distributing of North Texas that serves 27 counties. A visionary in the beer distribution industry, Barry pioneered the “multi-brand” distribution house that carries and distributes many brewers and their beer brands. Both the Corpus Christi and Dallas-based distributorships include MillerCoors Brewing Company brands along with importers, Crown Imports (Corona/Modelo), Heineken USA and Craft/Specialty brewers like Sam Adams and Shiner Bock as well as over 23 other brewers with over 250 total beer brands. The company is the nation’s sixth largest beer distributorship. With this powerful beer portfolio, Barry passionately tells his team, “Brand building is what we do!” Barry and his wife Lana are from Corpus Christi where, in 1976, at age 29, he became the youngest Miller Beer distributor. He started his beer distributing business with nine employees, a 12,000 square foot warehouse and sold 276,000 cases in his first year. Andrews now has over 1,100 employees, five warehouses with close to 800,000 square feet and an estimated 28-million case sales projected for 2011. Andrews runs his company with a strong, values-based culture focusing on eight core values that concentrate on personal and team integrity. The leadership team operates with open-door, open-mind philosophies and promotes the principle that those closest to the action know best how to succeed and improve the business. This attitude permeates the company and is exhibited daily. The Andrews team is completely committed to help retail partners develop their beer businesses through innovative solutions. The company has been recognized often for its commitment to its retail and supplier partnerships. Beverage World Magazine named Andrews its 2007 Distributor of the Year. Barry is an active industry representative with the National Beer Wholesalers Association, and he is a former president of the Wholesale Beer Distributors of Texas. He is an inductee into Miller/Coors Legends; the honorees must have 30 years service as a distributor of Miller or Coors, invested in the brand’s growth and demonstrated passion for the brand portfolio and earned the respect of industry peers. Andrews managers attend an SMU Executive Education leadership skills program twice annually. Barry sponsors the Andrews Leadership Summit, believing it is an investment that will develop a generation of leaders who will foster future company growth. On a first-name basis with many employees in Corpus Christi and Dallas, Barry frequently arrives at 6am weekdays, and it’s common to see Andrews and other leaders exchanging handshakes or high-fives with employees for jobs well done. Outside work, Andrews is committed to numerous civic and charitable causes. He is a member of the Baylor Health Care System Foundation Board and the M.D. Anderson Board of Visitors. Barry and Lana have been major sponsors of the American Cancer Society’s “Cattle Baron’s Ball” fundraising events in Dallas and Corpus Christi, and they are the major sponsor of M.D. Anderson’s “Conversation with a Living Legend.” In Corpus Christi, Barry worked with many organizations that support and promote the region.

Colleen has been nationally recognized for her business and leadership achievements, including such honors as the Texas Lutheran University Excellence in Leadership Award (2009), the Texas Labor Management Hall of Fame (2008), the Purple Boot Award, Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Texas (2008), the Tony Jannus Award (2007), the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women: Forbes.com (2004-2007), the Women in Aviation, International Pioneer Hall of Fame (2005), the Horatio Alger Award (2005), the IWF Woman Who Makes A Difference Award (2004), and many others.

BRIGHT STARS IN THE TEXAS SKY T HONORING OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE LEE ROY MITCHELL

Lee Roy Mitchell opened his first theatre over 40 years ago. Growing up around the family’s theatre business, he worked in every facet of theatre exhibition from buying and booking film to popping corn. Starting his theatre business in Ennis, Texas, Lee Roy built and expanded his circuit into the largest independent theatre exhibitor in the state of Texas. A pioneer in theatre promotions and sensitive to the budgets of many families, Lee Roy developed the concept of “reduced admission” nights that was emulated by the entire industry. This later proved to be the forerunner of Cinemark’s discount “Dollar Cinemas.” Lee Roy Mitchell founded Cinemark USA, Inc. in 1987 and since its inception has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and has grown Cinemark to the third largest theatre exhibitor in the United States with over 5,000 screens worldwide. Lee Roy Mitchell has also guided Cinemark USA, Inc. into the leading motion picture theatre company in 14 countries throughout Latin America and Taiwan. Impressively, Cinemark is the number one attended theatre circuit in the world with over 241 million guests in 2010. While others may flinch at the challenge of building a global exhibition company, Lee Roy perceives it as another opportunity to go after the fruit … out on the limb! In 2004, Cinemark executed a merger agreement that valued the company at approximately $1.5 billion. In 2007, the company went public and is now traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The success of Cinemark Holdings is largely attributable to the ability of Lee Roy to put his vision and his values at the forefront of the company’s business strategy. He prioritizes people over profit. He respects and invests in the communities and countries in which the company operates. He leads a management team and employees who understand and act according to his vision and values, truly putting the customer first. The result is a company operating on a global scale that constantly leverages breakthrough technologies, introduces improved levels of comfort and maximizes the entertainment value of every person who walks through an entrance of a Cinemark property. A number of other entertainment industry and community organizations have benefited greatly from Lee Roy’s perspective as well. He has served on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) for more than 20 years. In addition, Nest Entertainment, Southern Methodist University Meadows School of the Arts, Bill Glass Ministries, National CineMedia, LLC and Texas Capital Bank are among businesses and organizations in which Lee Roy has played a leadership role. Although Lee Roy may have lived his life “out on the limb,” he is deeply rooted in traditional values. From his humble beginnings in Ennis, Texas, Lee Roy has achieved remarkable success in his personal life and in the business world; achievements which surprise no one who knows him. His small-town values, his dedication to his family and employees, and his trust in God, have guided Lee Roy’s life. No story about Lee Roy would be complete without including his business partner and wife, Tandy. Their partnership of over 30 years has had a major impact on the success of Cinemark. They enjoy traveling and celebrating the success of the many charitable endeavors they support. Their personal strategy behind charitable giving is to empower people to better help themselves. Lee Roy may have started from humble beginnings; however, he leveraged those values he learned, vision, passion and service to make a difference. His results are revolutionary. “Eventually, you have to go out on the limb, because that’s where the fruit is.”
