This week Houston BOMA’s DEI committee members attended the Greater Houston Partnership's Inclusion Solutions Session 3 on LGBTQ+ and explored actionable strategies for fostering inclusive workplaces. Speakers Tressa Consuegra, Business Banker and Co-Chair of the LGBTQ+ BRG at Amegy Bank, and Tammi Wallace, Co-Founder, President & CEO of the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the importance of genuine engagement, empowering diverse leaders, and integrating inclusivity into all aspects of a company's operations.

Yesterday our CEO Bradley Elliott, MBA, CAE attended the Houston Permitting Center's sold-out workshop, which Houston BOMA also sponsored. Our members were able to hear from department leaders on the permitting process and how to get through plan review quickly and efficiently. Thank you to everyone who came out, and great job to the Houston Permitting Center staff on an excellent event!

Congratulations are in order for our very own VP of Operations, Elisa Barnes, CAE! She was recently named a 2024 Forty Under 40 Honoree by Association Forum. We're so proud of you and all you have accomplished in your career!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Medical Real Estate Happy Hour! Special thank you to TXPMC for sponsoring this great event.
