Message from the President
As we begin a new year, on behalf of your Midland Chamber of Commerce, I want to extend my sincere thanks to each of you for the role you play in strengthening Midland’s business community. The start of 2026 offers a moment to reflect on our collective momentum and, more importantly, to look ahead to the opportunities before us. Throughout the year, we look forward to hosting a robust calendar of events and programs that inform, engage, and inspire. From signature forums addressing the forces shaping our economy, to professional development initiatives cultivating the next generation of leaders, to community-wide celebrations that showcase Midland’s vibrancy and connectedness, these efforts reflect our commitment to meaningful, lasting impact. Our work as a Chamber is a salute to something bigger than any single event or initiative. It honors Midland’s business community by uniting employers, entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and institutions in service to this community and strengthening Midland through shared commitment. The Midland Chamber is guided by five pillars: to be an influential chamber, to provide strategic business support, to champion quality growth and development for our city and its people, to serve as the voice of business, and to promote Midland as a place to live, work, and visit. Whether you are a long-standing member or newly engaged with the Chamber, your involvement matters. This year also presents new opportunities to deepen relationships, elevate dialogue, and take meaningful action to bring these pillars to life. As we move through 2026, the opportunities before us are significant. Together, we will continue building a community that is connected, resilient, and positioned for long-term success. Thank you for being part of this work and for believing in the power of Midland’s business community.
I invite you to join us throughout the year at our events, in our programs, and in the conversations that shape Midland’s future. We are excited for what lies ahead and grateful to move forward together in 2026.
With best wishes for a successful and prosperous new year,
Evan Thomas President & CEO Midland Chamber of Commerce
