The Greater Houston Partnership Monday named Jeff Moseley as its new Executive Director to replace Jim Kollaer, who announced his resignation in February after 15 years in that position. Mr. Moseley is a former Denton County Judge who is currently the Executive Director of Texas Economic Development office, an agency that markets Texas for business and tourism development. Here is the Chronicle story on the appointment.
The Greater Houston Partnership is a private, non-profit organization formed in 1989 that serves as the primary advocate of Houston’s business community and is dedicated to building economic prosperity in the region. It counts about 2,000 local businesses as members.
Update: Mr. Kollaer reminisces on his tenure in this Chronicle interview, in which he notes that the highlight was helping to arrange for the new downtown ballpark and the lowlight was the demise of Enron. One particularly interesting observation is the following:

Q: How about the economy of Houston? How will that look in 20 years?
A: In 1982 we were 82 percent energy. Today we’re at 45 percent energy. In 20 years we’ll be somewhere in the low 30s if we continue on the path we’re on now.
