From the Board President

Nena Castillo-Pitts

The Chamber staff is working hard to get the 78^th Annual Chamber banquet organized. Our guest speaker is Port of Corpus Christi Commissioner Barbara Canales. She is quite knowledgeable with the needs of the South Texas oil and gas industries and the Port of Corpus Christi. We will name the Citizen and Jr. Citizen of the Year, Small and Business Excellence Awards and the Business of the Year at the banquet.
The banquet is the Chamber’s biggest fundraiser of the year that helps with the day-to-day operations. Sponsor tables are being sold by the Chamber staff. If you would like a table or individual tickets contact the staff.  A silent auction will also be held at the banquet. If your business would like to donate and item for the auction, contact the staff.
The last couple of months have been busy at the Chamber with contacts being made from new businesses who want to relocate to Alice or the area.  We understand the latest oil trends and are looking to solutions to diversify our economy.
