TCCE Annual Conference 2013 Real Chambers. Real Challenges. Real Solutions.

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

Chamber professionals and the organizations they serve live in a real world and daily face real challenges. Challenges of maintaining relevance, creating value, demonstrating value, remaining on the cutting edge of technology and the list goes on. These challenges often come amidst pressures to do more with less, complex relationship management with staff, elected officials, community and members in general. Then there is the money; earning it, growing it, and managing it to sustain and grown the organization.

The Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives and conference host the Amarillo Chamber invite you to join colleagues from around the state as REAL chambers tackle REAL challenges with REAL solutions in "The REAL Texas".

One of the last places on earth where the Old West meets the modern reality, Amarillo and the surrounding panhandle area are a unique blend of two American eras. Dwelling together are working ranches that remain virtually unchanged in day-to-day operations from the late nineteenth century and a vibrant twenty-first century economy that includes manufacturing, petrochemicals, medicine, and more. This unique jewel of the Panhandle is a treat for all who visit. Providing leadership for the modern west, it is said when you step into Amarillo you "Step Into The Real Texas".
