School has started, ending the unofficial summer. Your Chamber is busy checking off projects and goals, and serving a number
of members with opportunities that you are bringing our way,
helping carry out our 2015 theme: “Alert to Opportunities, Positioned to Act.” Please continue keeping us informed about opportunities, and how we may better serve you.
The 12th Annual West Texas Legislative Summit (Aug. 4-5) was a
huge success, focusing on environmental regulations the first day,
and exploring many facets of transportation on the second day.
Congressman Mike Conaway, State Senator Charles Perry and San
Jeff DeLoach
Chairman of the Board
Angelo State Representative Drew Darby and their staff helped
plan and execute several of the panels. The regional event included many of the finest state and federal experts in their fields. Under environmental regulations, the
Chairman of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and representatives of the Texas Railroad Commission, Apache Corporation, TxDOT, and Jackson Walker LLC highlighted issues and
offered solutions, with a timely proposal from the EPA eliciting concern among attendees and many
speakers alike. The transportation speakers and programs included the Executive Director and San
Angelo District Engineer from TxDOT, the Chairman of the Texas Transportation Commission, Proposition 7 author State Senator Nichols, the Federal Highway Administration, and representatives of the
Texas Transportation Institute, Texas Pacifico Railroad, Ports-to-Plains Alliance and others. You may
review videos of these timely sessions by clicking on the West Texas Legislative Summit box on the
Chamber’s webpage, www.sanangelo.org.
Chamber members showed their support and interest in San Angelo’s largest employer, Goodfellow Air Force Base, and new Wing Commander Col. Michael Downs showed his appreciation and
excitement for San Angelo at the August 11th membership luncheon at the West Texas Training Center. Thanks again to our sponsors: Angelo Home Team, Howard College, Republic Services and the
West Texas Training Center.
Health and fitness were the focus at the August Business @ Happy Hour on Tuesday the 25 th,
when San Angelo Community Medical Center sponsored a fun evening at Community Health Club,
during which the club’s many services were highlighted, along with its new Fresh Juice Bar, KORU
Juice.
