Leadership
We inspire leaders to identify matters of the highest importance to the long-term future of the greater Houston region and to collaborate in addressing those challenges for the benefit of all.
Leadership > Business / Civic Leadership Forum
Network. Learn. Engage. Since 2000, the Business/Civic Leadership Forum has engaged more than 1,400 diverse leaders from across the Greater Houston region through an immersive three-month civic leadership program. Through expert speakers, facilitated discussions, and experiential Learning Journeys, participants explore the critical social, economic, and environmental challenges shaping our region. The results are many life-changing community projects—spun off from the Forums—and a cohort of civic entrepreneurs cultivating deeper civic responsibility while working to build a more vibrant, resilient, and equitable Houston.
