Business Briefs
This spring, I am proud to reflect on what has already been a fast-paced and productive year for our region. From quality events to tangible successes, we continue to build on the momentum that makes the Bay Area Houston a true powerhouse for innovation, technological advancement, and economic growth.
One of the standout moments this year so far was the Quasar Award, where we had the honor of recognizing Texas A&M University Chancellor, John Sharp, for his exceptional leadership and contributions to the greater Bay Area Houston region. His dedication to advancing Texas’ role across industries makes this award well-deserved.
BAHEP also had the opportunity to cohost the annual ASCENDxTexas event, which is the largest space conference across the State of Texas and one of the largest in the country. This event brought together aerospace and business leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries from across the globe to discuss the future of manned space exploration.
In addition, Bay Area Houston Day and Galveston County Day at the Texas State Capitol provided a platform to engage with state leaders and advocate for policies that benefit our growing region’s economy. These events highlighted the importance of a strong partnership between local communities and state government.
Our region's contributions to space exploration are unmatched. Events such as the Citizens for Space Exploration Freshman Trip in Washington, D.C., and Space Day Texas, allowed us to engage directly with federal and state lawmakers and their offices to advocate for policies that will maintain and grow our leadership in space exploration.
With the introduction of new marketing initiatives and strategies for our Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP), we are showcasing the innova-
tion that flourishes in our region and translating it into jobs in Bay Area Houston and beyond.
As we move into the second half of 2025, we celebrate the many successes that have emerged through these initiatives, which continue to draw attention to our region as a prime destination for industry, collaboration, and strong partnerships and I am confident that our community will continue to thrive in economic growth. Together, we are shaping a community filled with opportunity for future generations.
Thank you for your support, and let’s continue working together to achieve many successes in the future.
Sincerely,
Brian Freedman President Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership

Since 1994, the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership (BAHEP) has presented the acclaimed Quasar Award annually for Economic Development Excellence to an outstanding elected official or business leader within the Bay Area region. This award honors someone who has demonstrated a strong and continual effort to support the business foundations of the greater Bay Area Houston communities.
On January 24, 2025, Texas A&M University Chancellor, John Sharp, was honored for his exceptional leadership and dedication at the Quasar Award Banquet held in the elegant Crystal Ballroom at South Shore Harbour Resort & Conference Center in League City, Texas. Vice Chancellor for Engineering at Texas A&M University, Dr. Robert Bishop, accepted the award on Chancellor Sharp’s behalf.
swer that works. All thanks to our dedicated, talented team, our board of directors, and our incredible
As Chancellor of Texas A&M University, Sharp oversees the Texas A&M University at Galveston Campus located on Galveston Island. Founded in 1962, Texas A&M University at Galveston plays a significant role in Bay Area Houston's education, research, and economic development. Chancellor Sharp’s leadership also extends to the Texas A&M Space Institute, a $200 million project that will be located on the NASA Johnson Space Center campus. This institute is set to launch Texas A&M's space research capabilities and collaborations, serving as a critical touchpoint for the Texas Space Commission and fostering partnerships among universities, commercial entities, and government agencies.
Accepting on Sharps behalf, Dr. Bishop
congratulated Sharp and noted his welldeserved stature, “Chancellor Sharp is a visionary leader. He tirelessly champions the state of Texas and all of its citizens. He is a dreamer, he dreams big, and he inspires other leaders in his orbit, including me, to also dream big. Not only does he set us on a trajectory to take us through lower orbit, to the moon, to mars, and beyond. But he also provides the fuel to make that happen.”
BAHEP President, Brian Freedman, congratulated Sharp and thanked Dr. Bishop along with every other person in attendance for their support. Freedman spoke of BAHEP’s commitment to assuring quality of life in the Bay Area region. “That’s BAHEP in a nutshell: we find practical solutions, one small step at a time, benefiting everyone in the process. Little by little does the trick. We are persistent. We believe that if our first solution does not solve the problem, we will think of another solution. We keep working until we get an an-
Gwen Griffin, 2024 BAHEP chair and founder and CEO of Griffin Communications, shared her experience, “I say our narrative this year for BAHEP might be called The Quest…. Always working to sustain our thriving region. We completed our strategic plan update. We expanded our outreach and influence across Texas and around the world. We created jobs and capital investments. We established new committees. Committees to address critical needs for our region, which is another thing of this quest. We always see what needs to be done in a timely fashion. We have expanded our support to our healthcare providers. We have doubled our programming for the benefit of our members and the partners. So, 2024 was a success.”
2025 BAHEP Board Chair and President of Barrios Technology, Kelly Page, shared her excitement for the upcoming year. “BAHEP had a great 2024, and I am looking forward to continuing the momentum that was started and entering into BAHEP’s 49th anniversary. Thanks to Gwen and Tim’s (2023 Chair) leadership, we have charted the next five years of our strategic plan, and I am ready to embark on this first year. Our region is rich in culture and history, and my goal is to take the charge of BAHEP to lead this next generation…. Together I am confident we will continue pushing these boundaries and creating a future we can all be proud of.”

Thompson’s presentation titled, “Soft Landing 2025: Optimism, Risks, and Uncertainty in the Houston/ Regional Outlook,” answered questions on current trends on economic data. “As we have come into the year, we have definitely seen a boost in business optimism and improved outlooks, this means that
firms are looking and are optimistic about 2025, more so than they were coming into 2024. Business investment and construction are robust amid wellsupplied energy markets [and] the U.S. looks to be on course for trend GDP growth, full employment, and continued progress towards two percent inflation."
