Mayor White has nominated five directors for the Sports Authority Board. Two are renominations and three are new nominations:
Houston Mayor Bill White today announced five nominees for the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority Board of Directors. Three of the nominees are new to the board and two are being reappointed.
“We’ve got a slate of good, conscientious nominees who take this role seriously and help us fulfill our commitment to the kind of diversity that reflects Houston,” said Mayor White. “We are proud that they are ready, willing and able to serve.”
The appointees, who must be approved by City Council, are:
* Neal S. Manne, a partner with the law firm Susman Godfrey LLP., to Position 1, for a term expiring Aug. 31, 2006.
* Ba Mau Nguyen, an attorney with Vinson & Elkins, reappointed to Position 2 for a term to expire Aug. 31, 2006. He was first appointed to the Authority in August 2003.
* J. Kent Friedman, reappointed to Position 3, for a term expiring Aug. 31, 2006. Friedman is vice chairman of the board and general counsel of MAXXAM, Inc.
* Janie Reyes to Position 5, for a term expiring, Aug. 31, 2005. Reyes is a community activist who has served Harris County as director of personnel, Equal Employment Opportunity officer and several other positions.
* Roland Garcia, to Position 11, for a term expiring Aug. 31, 2005. Garcia was a partner with the law firm Locke Liddell & Sapp LLP., and is now managing partner of Greenberg Traurig, LLP.
Are any other Chris Baker listeners laughing as they repeat the mantra, “Diversity is beauty”? Because nothing makes a Sports Authority run more efficiently than diversity.
