THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

GHRA Directors make a difference within the Association, while making lasting impressions on the industry and those serving Houston.  

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring the success of the Association as a whole and is committed to the long-term health of the industry. Their commitment is proven by being leaders by example in contributions to the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA) and Political Action Committee (PAC), support of the TRA Education Foundation and support of GHRA events. Additionally, the Board of Directors encourages others in the industry to become actively involved in the Association, while helping to create continuity among the Directors and future leadership.   

 

The Board carries the responsibility of attending all meetings, except when TRA or GHRA business is conducted at another location. Each Director takes it upon him or herself to represent the industry in a manner that honors both the Association and the industry.
