Annual Review Process
At the end of each fiscal year, Hermann Park will apply a point system to all vendors based on a) the number of events booked annually and b) total dollar amount of commissions paid. The two vendors with the lowest combined points will be relegated to the vendor pool, and two new vendors will receive a one-year contract. Our goal is to give all of the vendors on our list the opportunity to meet the minimum annual commission needed to meet our budget targets.
Diversity and Inclusion Goals
Hermann Park Conservancy’s mission will always be to make Hermann Park a beautiful, equitable, and accessible space for Houstonians and visitors from around the world. Priority will be given to Minority/Women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) during the Annual Review Process.
