Join us for a powerful and timely conversation with Gretchen Sheirr, President of Business Operations for the Houston Rockets and Toyota Center—and a key leader behind one of Houston’s most visible and impactful sports organizations. As a longtime Chamber Impact Partner, the Rockets have consistently shown up for our community.

Gretchen will share her leadership journey, the business of sports as a major economic driver in H-Town, and how the Rockets engage the community—including their partnership with the Chamber.

And yes…we’re talking about the return of the Houston Comets 👀—what it means for the city, for women’s sports, and for the future of Houston’s sports landscape.

We’ll wrap with a look at how fans and community members can get involved right now—from showing up and supporting teams to engaging in the broader ecosystem that makes Houston’s sports scene thrive.

This is a conversation about leadership, impact, visibility—and what it looks like when business, sports, and community come together in a big way.
