Greetings
As Mayor of Houston, Textend a warm welcome to all attending the 16th Biennial JAINA (Jain Association in North America) Convention. It is an honor to be hosting this cultural event in Houston
More than 30 million people visit the Greater Houston area every year to experience our world-class restaurants, acclaimed arts festivals and exciting sports events. The George R Brown Convention Center is one of the largest meeting places in the United States. It is conveniently located in the heart of downtown, close to some of the city's top hotels and entertainment venues. Across the street from the convention center is Discovery Green, recently voted one of America's Coolest City Parks by Travel and Leisure magazine
I hope that all the mernbers of the Jain community who attend the 16th Biennial JAINA Convention enjoy the outstanding facilities of our diverse city. We are proud to be a part of this event and glad that you chose the city of Houston to host it.
Please accept my best wishes for a successful event and I appreciate your continued support of our city
Sincerely
Qurice
