We have a great volunteer opportunity that will be a great fit for members of HisBA’s mentorship program, particularly those looking for a chance to network with Houston leaders while also getting some community service experience.
Leadership Houston is holding its 3rd Annual Symposium next Thursday, September 10, at the Harris County Department of Education, and we could use a few additional volunteers to help with event support. Tasks will include:
- Registration and check-in - Directing attendees and helping guests find rooms - Helping with setup and breakdown for breakfast and lunch - Other light event-support needs throughout the morning
Thursday, September 10, 2026 Harris County Department of Education – Adult Education Building 6515 Irvington Blvd., Houston, TX 77022 Registration begins at 7:00 a.m.; the symposium concludes around 1:15 p.m. https://www.leadershiphouston.org/lh-symposium
Anyone interested can respond directly to Sergio V Leal and he coordinate from there.
The program itself is solid and speakers include: F. Mike Miles — Superintendent, Houston Independent School District Dr. Laura Murillo — President & CEO, Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Sheriff Edward (Ed) Gonzalez — Harris County Sheriff Shayla Bowden — Executive Director, Greater Houston’s Women’s Chamber of Commerce Norma Castillo — Chief Human Resources Officer, Houston ISD Dr. Toy Hill — Superintendent of Schools, Channelview ISD James Colbert Jr. — Superintendent of Schools, Harris County Department of Education Ugochi Iloka — News Reporter, KHOU 11 Kerry McCracken, J.D. — Executive Director, The Children’s Assessment Center Katie Scott, MPH — Chief Executive Officer, CarePartners Dr. Andre Lewis — Pastor, New Faith Church Panels will touch on education, economic issues, civic engagement, nonprofit and community leadership, public service, and leadership more broadly, so I could also see this being of interest to attorneys whose practices intersect with those areas.
