Public Policy Advocacy

The Greater Houston Partnership is the primary advocate for local, regional, state and federal public policies that establish Houston as a top region in the U.S. for business.   To maintain that position, the Partnership actively pursues the following goals:

  • Lead the state in driving business-focused public policy that fosters economic development.
  • Establish the Greater Houston Partnership as the regional facilitator to address issues, and the driver and supporter of policies that grow business and increase foreign trade.
  • Aggressively advocate, lobby and promote policies and legislation that position the region’s business community as a national and global leader.
  • Initiate and enhance collaboration with other organizations and key stakeholders to promote and develop public policy.

The Greater Houston Partnership focuses on the issues that most closely affect our Member companies and the way they do business in Houston.  For a comprehensive look at how the Partnership advocates policy, select your issue of interest from the navigation to the left.
