Benefits:
The impact work of the Greater Houston Partnership starts with Committees, which convene business and community leaders to fuel the growth and vitality of the Houston region. Through member expertise, research and collaboration, Partnership Committees discuss and provide solutions that strengthen the business climate and advance the regional economy.
There are two levels of Partnership Committees: Advisory Committees that function as a strategic advisory body to the Partnership Board of Directors and Subcommittees that speak to a scope of hands-on projects with detailed metrics. Committee eligibility is tied to membership levels and must be approved. Partnership Committees fall into two general areas: Public Policy and Economic Development. Most Committees meet monthly or quarterly at Partnership Tower.
Partnership Programs are for like-minded professionals with aspirations to develop their business, their career, their organization and their community. Each Program has its own schedule and offerings that have been expanded in 2019. Members can confirm eligibility and be added to a Program roster by reaching out to the Member Engagement team.

Benefits:
Task Forces exist as an additional avenue for the Partnership work on specific issues for the betterment of the region. They are adhoc in nature, comprised of industry leaders and serve as resources that address urgent economic development and policy issues on the local, state, national and global platform.
Participation is by invitation only and not tied to membership. Members are executives or subject-matter experts who are uniquely positioned to contribute time, leadership, relationships and other resources toward a collective approach in solving a challenge critical to the region’s growth. 2019 Task Forces include Immigration, Mexico Energy, USMCA (NAFTA), New Energy, and Tech Anchors.
