President, Martha Turner Properties, LP

"The Greater Houston Partnership personifies the "can-do" attitude of Houston. From a business perspective, who wouldn't want to sit at the table with the heads of 26 Fortune 500 companies who are based in Houston? It's that networking opportunity and access to greatness that most appeals to me. The Partnership provides the greatest networking opportunities I have ever experienced in my professional career. The Partnership has phenomenal resources and a dedicated staff who is always willing to help. I can honestly say that there has never been a time that we have asked the Partnership for guidance that they haven't come through quickly and professionally. There simply is no better business resource in Houston."

Sonia Perez, Senior Vice President, AT&T

"Through our involvement on numerous Partnership committees, CenterPoint Energy has partnered with other businesses to solve ongoing issues that affect the economy of the Houston/Gulf Coast region. The greatest benefit of our involvement in the Partnership has been the opportunity to provide leadership in addressing issues which impact the prosperity of the entire region. Continued success in this arena not only works to positively position the region's business climate as one of the best in the nation but also results in significant job growth and stability for the region's residents. Regional prosperity takes hard work, and the Partnership offers everyone a chance to roll up their sleeves and make a difference"
