YOUR CHAMBER
PROGRAMS AND EVENTS Programs and events throughout the year are one way we deliver value to our members at the Texarkana Chamber. You can bet if we don’t have an event one week, we’ll have two the next. There are many opportunities and advantages for our members to engage and enhance their business, while enriching the community of Texarkana.
GROUPS Ambassadors
OPPORTUNITIES Ribbon Cuttings/Celebration Ceremonies
The Chamber Ambassadors are a working arm of the organization. It is a group of 20-30 business professionals aimed at bettering our relationships within the business community. Ambassadors meet monthly and set out each year to accomplish their goals. Greater Texarkana Young Professionals The Greater Texarkana Young Professionals (GTYP) is a group of individuals under the age of 40 wanting to get involved in the community, experience new things, volunteer their time, and network. GTYP welcomes both members and prospective members to networking and educational activities. Economic Development Council The Texarkana USA Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to trace our business retention and expansion efforts all the way back to 1913 when William Buchanan was asked to chair the Texarkana Board of Trade. The Texarkana USA Regional Chamber of Commerce is a partnership of businesses, organizations, and professionals working together to build a healthy economy and improve the quality of life in a community. To accomplish these goals, we are active in many roles including economic development, business retention and expansion, community planning, tourism, hospitality, government relations, and workforce development.
While not only benefitting the Chamber member hosting the event, ribbon cuttings and celebrations are a great way to network. Everyone is welcome! Lunch & Learns Lunch & Learns are designed to be educational for our members. They are typically free to attend, and hosted by a member organization. Topics can be industry specific or appeal to the masses.
