We have officially launched the 2025–2026 activity period with an event marked by a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Outgoing President Joe Amador took a moment to reflect on the remarkable pace and breadth of activity during his tenure. Over the past year, the IAPG Houston hosted a wide range of initiatives—from in-person events and webinars to scholarship awards and newsletters—that exemplified the organization’s commitment to our mission.
Following the formalities, Joe ceremoniously handed over leadership to Richard Spies, our incoming President for 2025–2026. Richard shared his vision for the year ahead, aiming to build on the momentum established throughout 2024–2025. He also took the opportunity to introduce the new leadership team and Board of Directors, setting the stage for another dynamic year.
