More than 60 Choice Partners members and vendors gathered for the division’s annual appreciation luncheon last week in their honor.

The event is an opportunity for vendors and members to network and for Choice Partners to recognize how vendors and members support Harris County Students.

County Superintendent James Colbert praised attendees for supporting public education by providing and utilizing competitively bid contracts through Choice Partners.

Funds that flow from the co-op are leveraged to supply services to area school districts, including the new Adult Education Center and ABS East campus, one of two specialized HCDE schools serving students with special needs.

Choice Partners’ top vendors of the year, Labatt Food Service and Vaughn Construction, and top members, Houston and Humble independent school districts, were recognized during the luncheon.
