New in 2012, BizCom Groups have been formed in the Atascocita, Humble, Kingwood and Summer Creek communities. The groups are a blend of businesses, community members, and school officials from each of the respective areas. Each community holds a BizCom meeting quarterly at their local high school that features speakers and reports on specific issues and topics affecting their community and allows time for group discussion. The meeting is open to all community organizations, citizens, businesses and other interested parties.
Leadership Lake Houston was created to educate, develop, and enhance existing and emerging leaders within our community. A leadership class of approximately 20 individuals from businesses and organizations throughout the community attend sessions once a month for eight months to learn about our community and how to make an impact on the growth and vitality of the Lake Houston Area by successfully serving in leadership roles.
Discovery Day is an event designed to help educate members about the Chamber and discover how to best utilize their membership benefits. Held bi-monthly, attendees are introduced to the Chamber staff, review membership benefits, learn how to login and use the “Members Only” tools of the Chamber website, and gain information about Chamber Teams, Task Forces and events. There is also time for questions and answers.
Each month, 1/12 of the membership is invited to a complimentary lunch at the Chamber to meet with the Chamber President, Chamber Board members, and staff to network and share information in a special group setting. Attendees are encouraged to discuss important issues affecting their business and the community and provide feedback to the Board and staff on ways the Chamber can help their business grow.
