  • Travel the world while never leaving Houston to experience the richness in diversity our city offers. The Leadership Houston Passport Program brings community leaders together to learn about and experience customs, traditions, cultures, politics, trade opportunities and business protocols of different countries around the world. This program will build a foundation for multicultural engagement that will help us as leaders create positive change.

    The 2010 Featured Countries are Turkey in April, Australia in June, Mexico in August, and, India in October. The program for each event will include and educational session from 4-6pm and a reception with entertainment from 6-8pm.
