| Business/Civic Leadership Forum |
|
| Spring 2009 Session |
The Center is focused on establishing the Houston region as one of the top ten global communities in which to live and work.
Such a community requires leadership and especially inclusive leadership as we change demographically – so the Center strengthens diverse leaders who will work together to achieve regional goals.
Forums are not about personal leadership development. Rather, we educate senior leaders about pressing community issues and engage them in finding solutions. Forums inspire our graduates, some of whom have had little or no community involvement before participating, to become activists that affect positive change throughout the region.
The Business/Civic Leadership Forum program, engages both proven and emerging leaders in focused discussion of key community issues: education or human capital, quality of life, inclusiveness, and transition to a 21st century economy.
There are over 550 area leaders - 35% of whom are Hispanic, African American or Asian, 30% of whom are women, and 16% of whom live or work outside of Harris County - who are Forum graduates and share an understanding of the issues facing our community. The Center includes graduates in its planning, and engages them with other agencies and organizations within our areas of focus.

The Leadership Forum consists of professionally facilitated off-site workshops, scheduled a month and a half apart; with self-organized, small group "learning journeys" held in between.
Many graduates report that the Forums opened doors to significant community service. We are “growing our own” leadership, both for the Center and for many other commissions and nonprofit boards.
