Immigration & Workforce: What's at Stake for Houston

A panel on how immigration policy is shaping Houston's education and workforce — and what we can do about it. Moderated by Linda Lorelle. A Bridge Houston Collaborative Conversation As immigration policy continues to shift at the federal level, Houston employers, educators, and workforce leaders are grappling with real questions: How are these changes affecting our talent pipeline? What does it mean for the students and workers already in our systems? And how should our institutions respond? Join us for a candid conversation sponsored by Senior Fellow Stan Marek (Class 28) and moderated by Senior Fellow Linda Lorelle (Class 62), Co-Founder, Civil Dialogues. Panelists will bring legal, data and solutions based perspectives on immigration workforce development and education to explore the impact of immigration changes on Houston's workforce and education pipeline.

López Turley (Senior Fellow Class 59) - Director, Kinder Institute for Urban Research • Kristin Etter - Director of Policy and Legal Services, Texas Immigration Law Council • Loren Steffy - Managing Director, 30 Point Strategies
