 New Houston Agency To Represent Astronauts By LON RAINS Space News Staff Writer posted: 10:21 am ET 19 June 2001
In addition to acting as an agent for former space travelers, the SPACE (Speakers for Public Appearances and Cooperative Enterprises) Agency, also will form teams of former astronauts and space executives to conduct team-building and motivational seminars for corporate clients, said Gwen Griffin, founder, chief executive officer and managing director of the SPACE Agency. During a press conference at the Paris Air Show here June 16, Griffin introduced former U.S. astronaut Bernard Harris as the agencyâs first client and said she hopes to announce additional clients in July. Griffin,
who also runs a public relations firm in Houston, said she got the idea
for the company after fielding numerous requests from former astronauts
over the years for help with offers for speaking engagements and other
business opportunities. |
