The Business Opportunities Committee is chaired by Charlie Harris, CEO Spindletop MHMR. This Committee is a cornerstone of ETBHN. Different projects and programs are explored and developed during these meetings. We have had nationally known and respected speakers come in from around the country to speak on topics such as housing and Fund Development in summit type meetings.

All projects are aimed at reaching out for new ideas of business that are in keeping with the general mission of our Member Centers. Some of the current ideas and programs being explored are:

• Autism Services
• Housing Services
• Fund Development
• Integration of Mental Health and Primary Physical Health
• Specialized Clinics
• Veteran Services
• Juvenile Justice Services
• Substance Abuse Services
• Home Health
• Ticket to Work Program

This is just a few of the ideas being explored and some are being implemented at different Centers already. This Committee, also, has workgroups that are formed on an as needed basis for grants, funding opportunities, and marketing/public relations.
