Join WPG for its Monthly Luncheon, on Thursday, May 5, 2022, at The Westin Houston Downtown, 1520 Texas Avenue, Houston, TX 77002, 11:45 am - 1:00 pm, valet parking available.  Our featured guest is City of Houston Council Member Sallie Alcorn, At-Large Position 5.  

Ms. Alcorn was elected to Houston City Council in December 2019. As an at-large representative, she’s focused on issues affecting residents citywide – budget, transportation, infrastructure, public safety. As chair of the Regulatory and Neighborhood Affairs Committee, she has zeroed in on matters impacting the quality of life in Houston neighborhoods – illegal dumping, regulation of hazardous materials in residential areas, bar/nightclub-related nuisances, stray animals. Sallie was also appointed by Mayor Turner to the board of the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) and an alternate position on H-GAC’s Transportation Policy Council where she gained insight into how the city works with its many partners toward improvements for the region.

Also, the winners of the WPG Community Grant and Spring Scholarship will be recognized during the luncheon.  The winners will be announced soon!  Please stay tuned!
