We are very excited to announce that during our Annual Quasar Award Banquet to be held January 28, 2022, at South Shore Harbour Resort & Conference Center, the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership will honor two outstanding individuals as recipients of the 2021 Quasar Award and the 2022 Quasar Award. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to have the banquet last year. We will make up for that in January with a spectacular celebration recognizing Rep. Greg Bonnen, M.D., and Houston Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin for all they have done for the Bay Are Houston region.
Rep. Bonnen will receive the 2021 Quasar Award for Economic Development Excellence. During the 86th Legislature, he was instrumental in getting the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program (SATOP) and the Texas Aerospace Scholars (TAS) Program placed into the Texas A&M University system as part of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES). For 100 years, TEES has performed groundbreaking engineering research and developed technology to address state and national problems. This provided a stable source of funding for SATOP / TAS, two very important programs, into the future.
TEES will provide STEM education expertise for the TAS Program, administered by NASA JSC, and provide engineering expertise to SATOP, administered by BAHEP, to help small business owners complete the development of new products at no cost to the business.
Rep. Bonnen facilitated an increase in the SATOP budget for Texas A&M University Capstone Design Projects during the 87th Legislature as well. Senior Capstone Design courses provide engineering students in their senior year an opportunity to collaborate on team projects sponsored by industry and apply their knowledge and skills in developing a design solution that meets the design requirements of the sponsor.
Rep. Bonnen has been a staunch and active advocate of BAHEP in many ways, and we are incredibly appreciative of his support.
Houston Mayor Pro Tem Dave Martin will receive the 2022 Quasar Award for Economic Development Excellence. He was first elected to the Houston City Council in November 2012 for our district, District E. In January 2020, he was nominated as Mayor Pro Tem by Mayor Sylvester Turner and confirmed by the City Council. Fiscal responsibility and economic development have been his focus from the beginning.
Mayor Pro Tem Martin’s investment and advocacy on behalf of economic development has been an invaluable resource for BAHEP and the entire district. He has endorsed many of BAHEP’s initiatives including our extensive work on the Houston Spaceport, storm surge suppression / the Texas Coastal Study, the Biggert-Waters Act, recovery efforts in coordination with FEMA, and as a traveler on our Citizens for Space Exploration (CSE) trips to Washington, D.C., just to mention a few.
He has been influential in advancing the work of BAHEP by his active recognition of our efforts in the region which has, in turn, helped others to recognize and participate in BAHEP’s initiatives.
Mayor Pro Tem Martin has a commitment and passion for his work that is both admirable and enviable, and BAHEP is very fortunate to count on him as an ally and a friend.
