Annual Meeting: State of the Houston Small Business Economy
The Annual Meeting of the Texas Business Alliance will occur each January. An installation of officers and Board of Directors, the Annual Meeting also is the occasion to be transparent about our results against goals.
A State of the Houston Small Business Economy forum is also held during the Annual Meeting. Houston’s leaders representing small business, corporations, academia, clergy, elected officials and the community address innovative methods of advancing small business.
The luncheon program culminates with the presentation of the “Texas Business Alliance Vanguard Award.” The “Vanguard” is awarded to a MWBE who has initiated joint venture Partnerships and has successfully won contracts with this approach.
