Chicago can get together fairly easily using Metra. Houston rapid transit is for the most part non-existent and certainly inconvenient by comparison.
Traffic is far worse and more dangerous than Chicago as well.
Consequently, several smaller local chapters would probably fare better than a central meeting place. Contact some business women in your local church and several churches close by who are committed Christians and share the vision to reach business women for Christ. Begin to pray together about it. Meet with the CBMC staff person in your area for guidance and share with him your vision to reach women for Christ. We met with Carl Boender, the Chicagoland Christian Business Men's Committee Director.
