YOUR CHAMBER
I am both honored and excited to serve as the 2025 Chair for the Texarkana USA Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
The Texarkana Chamber strives to partner with local businesses, organizations, and professionals to foster a healthy regional economy and improve the quality of life in our community. We actively support, inform, and advocate by being a strong voice for businesses—both large and small. This is accomplished by connecting businesses, convening with leaders, and promoting the business interests of our members and the community at large. As a leader in the community, the Chamber advocates for policies and programs that enhance the prosperity and quality of life in Texarkana. As a member-owned organization, we recognize the importance of collaboration. Engagement at both the state and national levels to ensure Texarkana is known as a “business-friendly” city is important for business retention and expansion, as well as the recruitment of new businesses to our area. To strengthen our efforts and deliver value to Chamber members, the team is focused on building closer ties with all Chamber members to better understand and aid in solving issues and challenges. Texarkana USA is well-positioned to experience positive economic growth, and continued collaboration will be the key to that success. In addition, economic growth is essential for our region to continue to prosper
economically and culturally. With a common vision shared with our partners, the Chamber is committed to growing this focus. We value our partnerships with not only our business members, but also the REDI group, city and county government officials, and school leadership in the area. The Chamber wants to play a vital role in supporting all these partners to excel in their initiatives—especially when it comes to economic and workforce development. The Chamber presents an opportunity for all members to grow their network, and in turn, grow their business. It allows individuals and companies to network and build professional and personal relationships that can last for many years. We invite all of you to be a part, make the connections, and be active in one of the best resources our community has at its fingertips. Encourage non-members to come out and see firsthand what the Chamber has to offer through membership. To learn more, please reach out to the Chamber office. In closing, I want to personally thank and recognize the Chamber staff, under the leadership of Robin Hickerson, for their commitment and tireless work to be an active voice for local businesses and a positive presence in our community.
