Houston, you see, has always tested its

limits. And that’s one of the reasons I love it.

Houstonians like to peer into the future, looking

for opportunity. And when they do, there have

been few boundaries to their imaginations.

THE CENTER FOR HOUSTON’S FUTURE is the reGIon’s tHInK

tAnK bringing business and community together to innovate for

the future of the Houston area. We do this by planning strategically

for the region, strengthening the base of diverse business and civic

leadership, and informing people about — while engaging them in —

the necessary groundwork for Houston’s global future. the

overarching benefit to the community is that of an independent

and respected source of information, a catalyst to connect and

energize divergent groups, and an incubator of new ideas and

initiatives to fuel big-picture, long-range thought and action.
