Future Houston

Leadership

We inspire leaders to identify matters of the highest importance to the long-term future of the greater Houston region and to collaborate in addressing those challenges for the benefit of all.

Leadership > Business / Civic Leadership Forum

Spring 2025 Business Forum

Since 2000, we’ve taken more than 1,350 leaders on learning journeys through the thorniest social issues and the biggest economic hurdles and opportunities facing Houston. The results are many life-changing community projects — spun off from the Forums — and a cohort of diverse civic entrepreneurs working to build a better region.

Forum Information

Our twice-yearly Business/Civic Leadership Forums build passionate civic leaders as diverse as the Houston region itself, leveraging participants’ business and leadership skills to drive lasting change. For both proven and emerging leaders, our Business/Civic Leadership Forums develop a deeper understanding of the challenges in our community and foster a new sense of responsibility for the future.
