November 2025 GHPB Commerce Club Luncheon

Join the Greater Houston Port Bureau at the Commerce Club luncheon on Thursday, November 13, 2025, guest speaker Commissioner Christi Craddick, 

Christi Craddick commission began in November 2012. Craddick has pushed to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of an energy industry that is driving the state’s economic success.

Craddick has worked to educate the public about the oil and gas industry and its impact in Texas. She has advocated for recycling in the oilfields, helping to drive the percentage of reclaimed water upwards, an essential achievement in a state enduring a multi-year drought.

As part of her efforts to modernize the agency, Craddick has championed an Information Technology overhaul at the Commission, seeking improvements that would upgrade the Geographic Information System, increase public access to the agency’s data, and speed up inspections and permitting times.

A native of Midland, Craddick earned both her bachelor’s degree as a Plan II graduate and her Doctor of Jurisprudence from The University of Texas at Austin. During her career as an attorney, she specialized in oil and gas, water, tax issues, electric deregulation and environmental policy.

Craddick serves her community as an active member of organizations including the State Bar of Texas, University of Texas Liberal Arts Alumni Advisory Council, and Dell Children’s Medical Center Foundation.
