February First Friday Luncheon
🎤 Program Highlights
- Special Guest Speaker and Topic:
- Ken Odom, Co-Founder and CEO of WasteLinq, and Chair of the GTACC's Business and Education Partnership
- Topic: GPA Is Not Enough: GPA+ as a Measure of What Employers Actually Hire For
- Most job interviews spend surprisingly little time on technical skills and a lot of time on how people think, adapt, and work with others. As jobs change faster than degrees and credentials, GPA alone tells employers less and less about who will succeed. That’s why Lone Star College – Tomball is introducing GPA+, a new way to measure and communicate the durable skills employers are actually hiring for.
- Local updates such as economic trends, community progress, or business development news.
- Recognition segments, which often include:
- Public Safety Officer of the Month sponsored by Woodforest National Bank
- Teacher of the Month sponsored by JuicePlus Corporation, with glass apple from Three Dimensional Visions - Glass Blowing Houston
- Check-in / Networking: 11:30 AM
- Program & Lunch: Noon – 1:00 PM
- You’ll have the chance to network with local business owners, chamber members, and community leaders before and after the luncheon.
- Chamber events like this are designed to help build connections, partnerships, and visibility within the Tomball business community.
