      <title>Correction Over Crisis (July 28, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://mandaforum.wildapricot.org/widget/resources/Pictures/July%202026.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Correction Over Crisis&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Why the long-predicted "Silver Tsunami" is a correction, not a crisis, and what a faster, more founder-first approach to dealmaking really looks like.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;In this fireside chat, Tule Creek Capital founder Dominic Dupré reframes the long-predicted "Silver Tsunami" of business transitions as a correction, not a crisis. Drawing on his own family-business M&amp;amp;A journey and his work running a family office, he shares an operator's perspective on why a more consultative, founder-first approach moves deals faster and smoother. It's a perspective worth considering, not a pitch.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Date:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;Tuesday, July 28, 2026&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time: 11am to 1pm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Small Business Development Center&lt;br&gt;
1455 West Loop South, Suite 900, Houston, TX 77027&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Agenda:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11:00 AM&lt;/strong&gt; – Networking &amp;amp; Lunch&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12:00 PM&lt;/strong&gt; – Presentation &amp;amp; Discussion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Seats are limited—don’t miss this opportunity to connect with industry leaders and gain actionable insights for the year ahead.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;____&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#004B80" style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Dominic Dupreé&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Dominic Dupreé is the founder of Tule Creek Capital, a Gulf Coast investment firm focused on industrial, infrastructure and environmental services in the lower middle market. Raised in a family of successful entrepreneurs, he charted a path in oilfield services early in his career. The market had different plans. The lessons stayed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;What seemed like a dying dream led him to join the family business during a challenging time, where he led the turnaround of a failing business unit, staying on as the company scaled and ultimately exited.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Today, he looks for investments with an operator's mindset, with a clear focus on culture, leadership, and continuity. Having been on the seller side, he approaches founders differently, more consultative, less transactional.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#004B80" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;Although now based in Texas, his identity remains rooted in South Louisiana, shaped by his family and a lifelong connection to the outdoors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
