Public Officials & Awards Reception
October 9, 2024
4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
This member only event serves to recognize public and elected officials, award winners, and projects that have made a significant positive impact in our region!
WHA’s Star of Excellence recognizes individuals who are not members of the Association, but their work complements our own to achieve a shared vision. We honor them as shining examples of the leadership and determination that is required for everyone to find great experiences and opportunities in the greater West Houston region and beyond. Years ago, Ed Emmett recognized that Harris County’s rapid growth would require proactive infrastructure planning to support continued development. Understanding the critical need for robust and effective flood control and transportation systems, he collaborated closely with regional partners to address these challenges directly. This forward-thinking approach has been instrumental in enhancing resilience and mobility in the Greater West Houston region, laying a strong foundation for future growth. Ed’s efforts have not only benefited Harris County but have also served as a model for neighboring regions. We are proud to recognize Ed Emmett as our 2024 Star of Excellence honoree!
