Chamber Information

Message From the President

Welcome!

Each of you has ventured to this site for a different reason. Some, to find pertinent information related to economic opportunities in our area. Others are looking for activities and resources related to an upcoming visit. Still others – particularly our valued Partners – will rely on this site to connect with leading businesses through our Business Directory and Chamber information pages. To all of you: welcome!

There is definitely something for everyone on this new and improved site. There is also something for everyone right here in Texarkana, so I am extending a personal invitation to come to our community. Located on the border of Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas, our twin cities offer tremendous assets unique to our area. Our strong workforce, growing education opportunities, and exciting cultural flair all add to a world-class community positioned to excel in this 21st century economy. Our staff would love to show you why Texarkana USA was chosen as one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country in terms of economic output (Forbes.com, 2007).

As an organization, the Texarkana USA Chamber of Commerce continues to stay on the cutting edge of business support with new programs, specifically designed to grow our business community and enhance Texarkana’s unique amenities. If you are in need of a true business partner, I invite you to consider partnering with us. In doing so, you will find a network of opportunity as we together grow our local economy.

Again, thank you for visiting the Chamber’s new web site, your one-stop virtual tour of the Texarkana region. Come back often and see what makes Texarkana a great place to live, work, and play!

Sincerely,

Jeff K. Sandford, IOM
President/CEO
