HOUSTON STRONG: BECOMING A MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE CITY

Join PRSA Houston for our very first in-person luncheon of the year! PRSA Houston celebrates diversity month annually in August. This August, our first in-person luncheon will feature guest speaker LaTanya Flix, Senior Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the Greater Houston Partnership.

Key items you will take away from attending this event:

     • How identity influences action
