Let's Talk Talent: September Edition

Upcoming Events

Every Tuesday during the month of September, the Greater Houston Partnership will host the One Houston Together webinar series.

Focused on building knowledge and awareness, this series acts as a starting place to inform concrete actions and next steps in addressing racism, inequities and injustices.

Join us as we work on understanding how these areas need to be addressed in us as individuals, organizations and systems and how we can advance Houston as a great global city for all.
