GREENSPOINT Partnerships and community spirit were recognized recently at the Greater Greenspoint District’s 13th annual Volunteer Appreciation Reception. Since 1992, the event has honored individuals and organizations who have contributed time and effort towards the betterment of the Greenspoint community.
The most distinguished awards of the evening were presented to the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA), represented by Anita Stevens, as Partner of the Year; Volunteer of the Year recipient Kelly McNeill of Hines; Company of the Year recipient Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel; and a special achievement award was extended to Gary Montgomery of Montgomery & Associates.
“We appreciate the commitment of our volunteers,” said district President Jack Drake. “With a spirited and hard-working team of people, Greenspoint’s voice in the community and abroad is strengthened.”
The Harris County Toll Road Authority was acknowledged as an outstanding partner for contributing to the District’s “Clean and Green” area maintenance program by saving trees that could have been destroyed by road construction. HCTRA’s focus on keeping Greenspoint well-connected without sacrificing 125 trees earned them the Partner of the Year award.
