Allen Owen
Chair of the Business Advisory Council

A dedicated leader, a long term resident of Missouri city, Allen Owen is certainly no stranger to the growth and the development of AAFS, having seen it all from the perspective of the Mayor of Missouri City, a business leader, past-president of the Board and the chair of the Business Advisory Council of AAFS.

Mayor Allen Owen is Missouri City’s tenth mayor since the City’s incorporation back in 1956. Mayor Owen’s profile shows his family’s long term residence of over 30 years in this community…a place he calls home. This is where Mayor Owen continues to dedicate much of his time and expertise towards the development of a community he and his wife of 39 years, Jane, reared their three children. Before his mayoral office, whose tenure began in 1994, Mayor Owen served as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner for five years and later as a Council Member for eight years having also served as Mayor Pro Tem.

From the beginning of Mayor Owen’s association with Missouri City, he has been highly visible in a growing community he shares with residents whose population numbers an estimated 65,000. Since then, Mayor Owen has continued working towards building a strong economy evidenced by attracting quality residential and commercial development to the area. The leader of a visionary community, Mayor Owen serves as a Market Area District Manager for Wells Fargo Bank of Texas and spends a great deal of his time with many of the residents on a daily basis. His community involvement includes tireless volunteer hours with the YMCA, United Way, March of Dimes and many other organizations. He serves on the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce, Fort Bend Womens Center, Fort Bend Literacy Council, Fort Bend Fair Association and holds a Vice-Chairman post on the Fort Bend Community Justice Council. Mayor Owen is also a Life-Time Vice-President and Director of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, Past-President of the Texas 4H Foundation, and President of the Asian American Family Services. Mayor Owen graduated from Southern Methodist University’s Graduate School of Finance and Banking and from Stephen F. Austin State University.
