lowing accomplishments:

ment Professional credential from the Project Management Institute.

gram focused on public works.

the team behind the scenes who brought this together.
o Congratulations to everyone on these accomplishments, and thank you for all
that you do. We truly appreciate your dedication and contributions to the or-
ganization.
• Public Affairs
o Visit Baytown recently helped bring the Southwest Insulation Contractors As-
sociation (SWICA) Poker Tournament to the Hyatt Regency Baytown Hou-
ston, with approximately 75 attendees and additional meeting room and food
and beverage revenue. The meeting planner shared very positive feedback
about the property and the Hyatt team. She specifically noted that everyone
was wonderful and that she was very pleased with how the event came to-
gether. Great job to the team for helping create positive experiences for our
visitors!
• And lastly, I would like to wish two of our amazing team members a very happy retire-
ment.
o Tracey Prothro, with Parks, Recreation, & Tourism, has dedicated 22
