Needless to say, this is an exciting time for our Chamber….make that YOUR Chamber. We are preparing to move into a wonderful new building where we can serve as a marketing center for Greater Waco. This “green” building is truly a cornerstone, not just of Waco Town Square under construction all around it, but of taking a few leaps forward in environmentally conscious construction, making big dreams a reality and setting a higher standard for our community.

But the Chamber is about much more than brick and mortar. It’s about the Economic Development Strategic Plan and the volunteers who make it possible. The goals and objectives we strive to reach every day provide focus and guidance in our mission to stimulate healthy growth in Greater Waco.

Communicating that message also is something we do everyday through our Web sites, e-newsletter, Waco Chamber & Business Quarterly  and other digital and print media. We are charged with communicating that message well.

When I was about 10 years old, my grandfather was president of the Texas Restaurant Association. During that year, he and my grandmother traveled the state visiting many of the TRA chapters.
