The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership honors Elected Officials
The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership (EDP) held its 27th annual Elected Officials Reception at The Club at Carlton Woods on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. The annual event honors our elected officials for their commitment and service to our community, state, and nation. Our EDP partners joined us to show their appreciation to our special guests and their staff at the local, county, state, and federal levels.
This annual event is supported in part by our generous partner sponsors. This year’s Platinum Level Sponsors included Entergy Texas, St. Luke’s Health The Woodlands Hospital, The Club at Carlton Woods, The Woodlands Township, Waterway Wealth Management, and Westwood Magnolia Parkway Improvement District.
“The gathering of over 30 public officials demonstrates the collaborative spirit driving economic progress in The Woodlands Area. These dedicated public servants aren’t just allies in our mission—they’re essential teammates whose commitment to service directly enhances our community’s prosperity. Together, we’re building a stronger economic future that benefits everyone who calls this region home.” – Jevon Gibb, CEO of The Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership
