2. Support Efforts to Increase Racial Equity
One Houston Together is the Partnership’s commitment to leverage the power of the business community to drive change in two priority areas: increase racial equity in the corporate talent pipeline as well as board leadership and grow spending with Minority Business Enterprises. There are many ways for members to engage in this work including workshops, roundtables and the bi-annual Houston Regional Equity & Inclusion Assessment

 

3. Join an Upcoming Trade Mission Delegation 
As Houston's biggest promoter, working to attract more people and businesses to the region, the Partnership serves as Houston's front door, hosting regional and international delegations and trade missions. From travelling to Brazil and the West Coast to hosting the Italian Trade Houston, members have the exclusive opportunity to make powerful connections that can expand their business abroad.
