2026 HADA Spring Luncheon with Jim Crane

April 15, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (CDT)

Description

This year's spring luncheon brings Houston business leader and Houston Astros Owner and Chairman Jim Crane as the featured speaker on April 15 at Crane's restaurant Osso & Kristalla. 

Many know Jim Crane as the owner who helped guide the Astros to one of the most remarkable turnarounds in Major League Baseball history. Since purchasing the franchise in 2011, Crane has led the organization through a strategic rebuild that resulted in multiple World Series appearances and championships, while establishing the Astros as one of the most successful teams in modern baseball. 

But Crane’s story extends far beyond the ballpark. An accomplished entrepreneur, he founded Eagle USA Airfreight in 1984 with just $10,000 and one employee—himself. That startup eventually grew into a global logistics powerhouse operating in more than 130 countries. 

Today, he continues to expand his business footprint through Crane Worldwide Logistics. Crane’s passion for baseball began long before Houston. A standout pitcher at Central Missouri State University, he still holds the school’s single-game strikeout record with 18 and was later inducted into both the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame and the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. 

Under Crane’s leadership, the Astros have also become a powerful force for good in the Houston community. Through the Astros Foundation, more than $50 million has been invested in youth sports, education initiatives, disaster relief, and programs that strengthen communities across the region. From building a global business to building a championship franchise, Jim Crane’s journey reflects the power of vision, perseverance, and leadership. 

Join us for a conversation with one of Houston’s most influential business leaders as he shares insights on leadership, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to build a winning organization both on and off the field.
