Upcoming & Past Events
NIRI Houston has worked hard to offer our members a robust calendar of programs combined with superior networking opportunities. One of the primary goals of the Chapter is to provide quality content that engages our members and supports their career objectives. We are continually working to provide best-in-class programming to ensure each meeting enhances our member’s professional development.
NIRI Houston schedules a monthly luncheon, a NIRI Neighborhood Network (N3) happy hour, or hosts workshops for professional development from September through May. In addition, the NIRI Houston and Dallas Chapters alternate hosting an annual Southwest Regional Conference each year – usually in August or September.
We invite you to save the date on your calendar and register to attend these exciting upcoming events!
