Professional leadership in Houston

Houston's organizations are shaped by energy and by the size of its private-company economy. The Houston Angel Network is one of the few angel groups in the country to publish its dues in full and to state that it imposes no minimum investment; the Petroleum Club has been the city's business club for seventy years; and the national peer groups (EO, TIGER 21, Hampton) all run Houston chapters. Owner and family-business organizations are well represented, and the city's medical and engineering industries feed the professional leadership bodies.
