YOUR CHAMBER
GROUPS Ambassadors
The Chamber Ambassadors are a working arm of the organization. It is a group of business professionals aimed at bettering our relationships within the business community. Ambassadors meet monthly and set out each year to accomplish their goals. Economic Development Council/BR&E 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. Government Affairs Committee Government advocacy is a large part of what we do at the Texarkana Chamber. When you’re running your business, we’re looking out for it on the local, state, and national level. We want what’s best for our community, and that means what’s best for YOU. We’re called upon regularly to advocate for our businesses and join people together to talk about the issues that matter to them. Our committee and Chamber members take trips to the Arkansas and Texas legislature when they’re in session, and join the cities together once a year for the State of the Cities address. Military Affairs Committee The Military Affairs Committee of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to strengthening the relationship between the business community and our local military installations. Through a strong partnership with the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) and other military organizations, the committee works to support, promote, and advocate for the men and women who serve our country, as well as the industries that contribute to national defense. This committee actively engages with military leadership, policymakers, and community stakeholders to enhance awareness of the economic and strategic importance of RRAD and other military assets in the region. It also provides networking opportunities, hosts recognition events for service members and veterans, and supports initiatives that improve the quality of life for military personnel and their families. By fostering collaboration between the military and the Texarkana business community, the Military Affairs Committee plays a vital role in ensuring continued support for defense-related operations, workforce development, and economic growth in the region.
