September 2004 Link to PDF File.   March 18, 2004      General Meeting Houston Relocation Professionals and the Greater Houston Partnership The Houston Relocation Professions hosted an event Thursday March 18.  The focus was on the 2003 relocations, expectations for 2004 and a presentation from representatives of HP, Inc. and ConocoPhillips regarding their relocations.   Following is the summary and some observations of the event:     The economic indicators for Houston seem to be doing very well.  The Houston economy is affected by three things:        1. the national ecomony - GDP is expanding at 4%     2. energy prices - 2003 recorded high price levels of West Texas Intermediate Crude, current prices are also high     3. the value of the dollar - the current situation is very good for exports   Houston is also projecting job growth of 1.5% for this year (31,000 new jobs).   Here are a few notes from the speaker from ConocoPhillips:     Houston is important because we are an energy hub and a global transportation hub, in close proximity to their partners, customers and suppliers.      The current labor force and availability of affordable housing are also very important.     They moved over 1100 employees into Houston and 300 employees out of Houston from August 02 to December 03.      ConocoPhillips offered employees and their families a chance to visit Houston.  They also set up Houston resource rooms (our books were included), an intranet website with Houston links (www.houstonnewcomerguides.com was linked) and sent mailouts about Houston.      The weather (interesting) and big-city amenities (theatres, restaurants, shopping, lifestyle, golf, etc.) are also very important.     Most of their employees ultimately decided that proximity to work was the most important factor in buying a home.   Here are a few notes from the speaker from HP, Inc.:     They brought 200 employees from Roseville (near Sacramento) CA     They had organized preview trips on different weekends to bring employees to Houston (this was more successful than they anticipated).     Coming from California, they needed to emphasize Houston as a big city, with all (usually more) of the amenities from home, with a much better cost of living.      Religous and ethnic diversity and higher education were also important.   Both relocations were considered successful by the companies involved.  I believe both reported having more employees come to Houston than originally anticipated.    Overall, it was a very encouraging event.  2004 has the potential to be a great year for Houston.   HOUSTON RELO PROS HOLIDAY SOCIAL Date:   December 9, 2003 Time:    5:00 pm to 8:00 pm Place:   Sullivan's at 4608 Westheimer  713-961-0333  MAP  Fee:  $25.00   Cash Bar Keep a Look out for Your Email Invitation!     It's Coming Soon! 26 February 2003 “Demystifying the RFP Process” 8:00 – 8:50 a.m.  Registration 8:50 – 9:00 a.m. Opening Comments 9:00 – 10:15 a.m.  RFP Perspectives presented by:       Mr. Nelson Schmidt – Sr. Vice President   The Procurement Center     Ms. Stephanie Courtney – Shell Oil, Change and Process Improvement Consultant, Domestic Relocation and Expatriate Services 10:15 – 10:30 a.m.  Break 10:30 – 11:30 a.m.  Challenges and Ideas –  Roundtable Discussions by Attendees 11:30 a.m.  Speaker Comments specific to Roundtable Discussion Results Noon  Lunch   RSVP by 19 February 2003 _____ $40 HRP Member  _____ $50 Non-Member  _____ $60 At the door _____ 2003 HRP Membership Cost - $55  Total $ _________ RSVP to: Lisa Prather, CorQuest, 6300 Westpark, St. 500, Houston, TX 77057, 713-783-4448 This course provides 3.75 CE hours from The Institute for Supply Management and will provide for Re-Certification Credits from The Employee Relocation Council  Date: Wednesday, December 4, 2002 Time: 4:30 - 8:00 p.m. Place: The Junior League of Houston     (map) 1811 Briar Oaks Lane, Houston, TX 77027 Topic: Holiday Celebration 4:30 - 5:30pmm Registration and Networking 5:30 - 6:15pm Speaker: Michael Riccetti, Author of "Houston Dining on The Cheap" 6:30 - 8:00pm Holiday Fun Buffet dinner, cash bar, door prizes Speakers: Michael Riccetti, "Houston Dining on The Cheap" Amazon.com Editorial Review -- Book Description Houston Dining on the Cheap is the first and only guide to target the best inexpensive restaurants in Houston.
