Who lives and works in the Houston, TX area? Who wants to NETWORK?

There are several networking groups available already but they charge HUGE fees to join. My goal is to have a group that meets once a week and members donate $10 each month (collectively) to a local Veteran Service Organization. I've built this model in four other cities and we have referred millions of dollars of local business AND donated to some great charities! If you are interested, please reach out to me at [login to see] .

SGT Timothy Stroud , I live in Sugar Land and network (professionally) all the time. I'd love to meet more vets in the area though.

I think that we should start something like this Rally Point wide. Maybe have this be something that we can do as a whole not just in certain cities. Just my thought here

Have you heard of the LSVA (Lone Star Veterans Association). To my knowledge, there are no fees to join and it is sponsored by the city of Houston with many activities (i.e. softball teams, social outings, hiring events, etc) in multiple parts of the city. It is open to all Veterans, but believe they specialize in post 9/11 vets. Their website is: http://www.lonestarveterans.org. There are also multiple other military organizations in the area. For West Point Graduates, there is a Houston Alumni Chapter that meets regularly. For all Service Academy Graduates, there is a B2B (Business to Business) breakfast on the 1st and 3rd Friday morning of every month at the Galleria Mall. There is also a group that meets monthly about Leadership topics. There are others as well that I don't recall off the top of my head. Hope this helps.

Lone Star Veterans Association

The Lone Star Veterans Association is the largest Afghanistan and Iraq veteran network in Texas. We've Been There.

I live in Houston, about 5 miles from NRG. I don't really know anyone there, and would really like to connect with some folks, whether professionally or otherwise.

I live south of houston in the Manvel area but work in the houston area. I am starting to network out just to meet other veterans. I have a few veterans that are looking to relocate to houston if they are able to find jobs in their career field.
