What Your Chamber is:
The Kaufman Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit voluntary partnership of business
and professional people working together to build a healthy economy and improve the
quality of life in our community. Working alone may not always be successful so the
Chamber works together, pooling time and resources so that great accomplishments can be
made that benefit the entire business community.
What Your Chamber is not:
Your Chamber is not a part of the city, county or state governments; a civic, service or
social club; a social service or welfare agency.
Who Leads Your Chamber:
Your Chamber is run by its members. The 29 members of the elected Board of Directors
determine policies and set goals. Six Directors are elected each year for a three year term.
The Executive Committee is elected by the Board. A Chairman presides over all the Board
meetings. The day-to-day operations are handled by a paid professional president and staff.
Your Chamber has Five Functions:
• Economic Development: Assist existing businesses, industries and developers and
retail firms in Kaufman to grow and expand locally with priorities of tax generation,
job creation and capitol investment. Create a climate that encourages existing
businesses to choose to add shifts or expand locally as they find new markets, expand
their product offerings or as a demand for existing products increases.
• Membership Services: Promote an affirmative and interactive membership program.
Develop and maintain programs that generate sources of funding. Achieve effective
and efficient internal Chamber operations.
• Tourism: Create awareness that Kaufman is a designation for visiting landmarks,
memorials and special events. Attract outside visitor dollars to our local restaurants,
motel and retail businesses by providing advertising and promotion for community
events.
• Community Development: Improve the communications, health care opportunities,
marketing local businesses, transportation, small business opportunities, appearance
of the community and volunteer options for the Kaufman Area.
• Government Relations: Identify issues, monitor proposals, ordinances and legislation.
Develop and communicate pro-business positions on city ordinances, county
ordinances and state legislation and regulation affecting the growth and profitability of
Kaufman business and industry.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
I
t is my great honor to serve as the 2015 Chairman of the Board for the Kaufman Chamber of Commerce Board of
Directors. The enthusiasm and diligence of our Past Chairman, Wendy Thomas, coupled with the hard work of our
Chamber staff, Board of Directors, and the support of our chamber as a whole, positions our community for positive growth
in the years to come.
Kaufman is blessed to have a business community that emphasizes strategic growth and prosperity. Such a philosophy
allows for our community to be a place where people will want to live and raise their families and where businesses will
want to locate. I am very proud of the work we have done to boost our local economy and continue to improve the quality
of life for our community.
We will continue what was started this past year in becoming a resource to all our local businesses and industries by
providing communication, information and support. Additionally, we will organize events that will bring our community

KAUFMAN CERTIFIED AS
RETIREMENT DESTINATION
The City of Kaufman became the 35th GO TEXAN®
Certified Retirement Community through the Texas
Department of Agriculture in July of 2010. The GO TEXAN®
Certified Retirement Community Program helps encourage
retirees and potential retirees from Texas and beyond establish
their homes in Texas communities. The program recognizes
the quality of life in Kaufman as a model community in Texas.
For retirees, Kaufman can be an enjoyable and energetic
place to live.
the Heritage Jubilee in April, the Cotton Festival in September
and the Polka Festival in May in addition to many more.
Kaufman is often referred to as having the perfect
blend of progress and tradition, as well as having a small
town atmosphere with big city conveniences. It is an ideal
town to retire in. For more information on visiting or
moving to Kaufman look us up at kaufmantx.com or call
us at 972-932-3118.
To be considered for the program, the City of Kaufman was
graded on what makes us a desirable retirement location by the
Texas Department of Agriculture. The application covers 15
areas of desirability, including housing, demographics, climate
and geography. Other criteria that are deemed important are
low crime rates, arts and entertainment within a fift y-mile
radius, as well as recreation, sporting events, and opportunities
to work or volunteer. One of the biggest considerations in this
application is the availability of quality health care, which
Kaufman has in the form of our award winning Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman.
Kaufman has often been described as having a comfortable
small town atmosphere with access to big city conveniences.
We are located 37 miles from downtown Dallas so fine
dining, museums, concerts and professional sporting events
are within easy reach. Within the city, we have many locally
owned retail shops & restaurants, some of which are located
on the historic town square. Additionally, there are several
golf courses within easy driving distance of Kaufman as well
as lakes to boat and fish on.
If festivals entice you there is a plethora to choose from in
Kaufman County as well as the surrounding areas. Kaufman
hosts an annual Scarecrow Festival and parade in October and

Kaufman offers quality living, endless opportunity
N
estled in the rich landscape among three of North Texas’
busiest highways, Interstates 20 and 45 and U.S. Highway
175, the City of Kaufman just might be one of the state’s
best-kept secrets. An easy drive away from the cities of Dallas and
Fort Worth, Kaufman also leads the way to much sought after
attractions in East Texas, including the once-a-month shopping
mecca of Canton and Lake Tawakoni’s coveted recreation and
campsites. Kaufman itself boasts a park dedicated to all veterans
from Kaufman County. The site also is home to a segment replica
of the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
Along with an unbeatable location, making the city even more
appealing to businesses — large and small — is the much-talked
about family-friendly environment found just about everywhere,
from the streets wrapping the square, churches and classrooms to
the city’s sprawling sports complex. The focus of government and
economic development leaders is on serving area citizens and
stakeholders as well as attracting quality companies to well-planned
industrial, commercial and retail sites that offer thousands of
available and useful square footage.
Arguably Kaufman’s hallmark is its historic pedigree. Nowhere
is this more evident than its preserved town square, home to the
county’s courthouse, restaurant and shops, along with an abundance
of period dwellings that marry with newer construction throughout
the community. With its perfect combination of an easily accessible
location, business-friendly attitude and unparalleled quality of life,
Kaufman is a city that offers endless opportunity.
BUSINESS AS USUAL
Kaufman’s dedication to attracting and maintaining businesses is
unquestionable. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, a 100-bed, stateof-the-art facility, ABOX Packaging, servicing some of the country’s
best-known entities, and Falcon Steel, which employees more than
200 non-union workers, all are testaments to the city’s appeal.
Other long-standing employers include Kaufman County and
the Kaufman Independent School District. Combined, they employ
more than 1,000 people. Manufacturers and distributors employ an
estimated 20 percent of the city’s diverse job base, while 17 percent
work in medical-related fields and another 23 percent in government.
“We import about 2,900 workers per day into our community,”
Kaufman EDC executive director, Lee Ayres said. “It actually bulks
up our daytime population, which in turn helps our retail and service
industries. They may not live here, but they might buy gas, groceries
or visit their insurance agent here.”
Multiple locations in Kaufman are ready to house new businesses.
Retail and office spaces, ranging from 1,500 to 6,000-square-feet, are
available at Prairie Creek Business Park along U.S. Highway 175. In
downtown Kaufman, on the city’s historic square, lease space of up to
3,000-square-feet is being offered.
“We work very hard to try to attract business. That’s part of [our
job]”, said City Councilman Barry Ratcliffe. The city council in
conjunction with the Kaufman Economic Development Corporation
tries to prepare the whole community for the future.”
When the council and KEDC can draw business to town, he said,
that creates revenue and those dollars generate sales, which helps the
city operate and make improvements while largely keeping the tax
rate from rising.
Kaufman already is the location of Falcon Steel, a company whose
products help guide motorists and transport electricity, not only in
www.kaufmantx.com
the DFW area, but also throughout the state and across the country.
Along with transmission lines, Falcon consistently builds lighting
poles and overhead sign structures for high profile improvements
like Dallas’ “High Five”, the city’s busiest highway interchange.
They’ve also constructed goods for Duke Energy and contributed to
wet projects near Las Vegas.
“We’ve built for just about every utility in the United States,” said
General Manager Larry Minor, a Kaufman native who has been with
Falcon nearly 30 years.
While ripe for larger retailers and manufacturers to occupy prime
real estate, Kaufman also is the kind of place that is dedicated to and
supports small businesses.
QUALITY OF LIFE
Check any of Kaufman’s local restaurants, shops, or parks and a
certain hard-to-find charm is apparent. There’s a down-home way
about folks rarely found these days, especially in larger cities. Yet
Kaufman has maintained a high quality of living through the years.
Current Mayor Dr. William Fortner’s wife, Norma, is from
Kaufman, however, that was not the reason the couple located their
family here nearly four decades ago. Instead, opportunity knocked.
Dr. Fortner chose to leave Dallas to join a solid group of local
physicians.
“Six years later, we got [Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital],” he
said. “Very few towns the size of Kaufman have a hospital, and it’s a
quality hospital, too. I’m real proud of it. Kaufman is a small town,
so you get to know a lot of people. You go to the store and you don’t
know anyone [in a big city]. I go to the store here and I know all kinds
of people. We have good schools and the low crime rate is a big deal.”
Long time resident Barry Ratcliffe who serves on the Kaufman
City Council and the Kaufman Economic Development Corporation
said the city’s size and all that comes along with it lured his family
east.
“What attracted me was it’s small town atmosphere and the
school system, because I had school-aged children at the time,” he
explained. “I’m from a small town, so it had everything I was looking
for and everything was close. We just like the quiet, closeness of the
community.”
Parks and schools often are the signifiers of a great community
and Kaufman is no different, with a celebrated school district and
much-used sports complex along State Highway 34.
As far as higher education goes, Trinity Valley Community
College’s Health Science Center and School of Nursing offers a
variety of health occupations programs since 1983.
Kaufman Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, Anne
Glasscock pointed out that Kaufman also is a Certified Retirement
Community, designated by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
To help further heighten the quality of living for its residents,
the Kaufman Chamber, along with the City of Kaufman and STAR
Transit, embarked on a project to provide a fixed bus route in
response to the number of citizens observed carrying large parcels
on foot from shopping destinations. In October 2011, the project was
deemed the best economic development project by a small chamber
in the state of Texas.
Perhaps what makes Kaufman such an ideal location, for work and
play, is the evidence of strong community spirit and hard-working
citizens and leadership.

Kaufman EDC Executive Director
Lee E. Ayres
The mission of the Kaufman Economic Development Corporation is to make
Kaufman one of the most economically prosperous suburbs of Dallas and one of the
best places to work in North Texas.
KEDC is led by a five member board of directors headed by volunteer President
Roy Ferrell. The corporation leases space from the chamber and chamber support staff
doubles in the same capacity for the KEDC.
The KEDC developed a new matching grants program last year to help revitalize and
improve property on the Town Square, Central Business District and the Washington
Street and Mulberry Street corridors. Grants are available for new/repaired sidewalks,
driveways, parking lots, front building facades, signage and more.
The Chamber and Kaufman EDC cut the ribbon on the new 160,000 square foot
Walmart Supercenter and a new Whataburger in 2014 and broke ground on a new
15,000 square foot strip center in Kings Fort Market Center. A lot adjacent to the
center is now home to La Pradera Restaurant, one of the nicest sit down restaurants
in Kaufman County. The Kaufman EDC funded $400,000 of the western portion of
the new Kings Fort Parkway and has pledged approximately $1.5 Million towards the
streets, utilities and other infrastructure within the Market Center.
Kaufman also broke ground on the new Highway 34 by-pass in 2014, a project the
Chamber began working on in the early 1970’s. The Kaufman EDC provided a major
push over the last seven years acquiring donated right of way and pledging $1.7 Million
www.kaufmantx.com
towards the project. Kaufman EDC also agreed
to an infrastructure/jobs retention grant related
to the project in 2014. The new by-pass should
open up more than 1,000 acres for new industrial,
commercial and residential development.
“Where the Kaufman EDC’s top priorities
are job creation, attracting new local option sales tax dollars to the city and
bringing in taxable capital investment to Kaufman, to accomplish that we must
be supportive of many things considered community development. This includes
but is not limited to transportation infrastructure, education, health care, utility
infrastructure, mobility and aesthetics,” according to Lee Ayres.
“I am excited about the next three years for Kaufman and south-central
Kaufman County. The Chamber of Commerce, City of Kaufman and the Kaufman
EDC have created a superb partnership over the last five years that should serve
the community well in the decade ahead,” Lee Ayres serves on the Board of the
chamber as annex-officio member. He is Chairman of the Board of Texas Health
Presbyterian Kaufman Hospital, Chairman of the U.S. 175 Corridor Alliance and
an officer on the board for Star Transit. He is a past board member of the Texas
Economic Development Council and past Chairman of the Dallas-Ft. Worth
Marketing Team.

HISTORY OF
Thomas Protective Services, Inc.
T
homas Protective Service, Inc. was established in 1981
by former Dallas County Sheriff Carl Thomas and
his wife, Susan, at the family home in Dallas, Texas.
A firm believer that entrepreneurship is alive and well in
this country for those who are willing to take a chance to
succeed, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas built the family business one
partnership at a time.
ISD, Kaufman County Crime Stoppers, Kaufman Christian
Help Center, USO, and Kaufman County Children’s
Advocacy Center. Wendy Thomas is considered one of the
strongest advocates for the law enforcement community and
often rallies behind their efforts.
Today, under the leadership of the Thomas’s eldest daughter,
Wendy Thomas, the company is licensed in over half of the
United States with offices from the East Coast to West Coast
and employs over 500 individuals nationwide. Enjoying the
community spirit of Kaufman, the family built the Corporate
Offices in Kaufman approximately five years ago.
Former District 4 State Representative Lance Gooden says
it best, “Wendy is truly the most genuine and generous person
I have come to know. Her charismatic attitude, solid morale
character, and tremendous work ethic inspire all around her.
Kaufman is very fortunate to have Wendy, her family, and her
company. She is truly beautiful not only on the outside, but
also on the inside you will find a woman with the heart of
gold.”
“I recall sitting in our conference room one morning about
a decade ago when Wendy announced that she wanted to take
the company to a national level,” acknowledges Carl. “Never
shy on asking for the order, she sought out an opportunity to
grow our existing customer base on a larger scale.” Within a
two year time frame, Ms. Thomas traveled across the country
examining in various states and retaining the necessary
company licensure. Consequently, the company changed
the paradigm and became a national player in the security
industry. As one of the largest, privately-held security
companies in the nation, Thomas Protective Service, Inc. is
now recognized as a major business in their industry.
Larry Minor, General Manger of Falcon Steel Company,
shares his opinion: “I have known Wendy since going through
Kaufman County Leadership together in 2011. Wendy taught
me what a true community leader is. She gives willingly of
her time and effort to build a better community because she
believes in the goodness of its citizenry. Not only is she a
great asset to the community, but she also has a great business
mind. She manages business with skill and integrity and she
is one of the first people in the business community I will
go to for advice and guidance when facing tough decisions.
Personally, I am very lucky to know her and privileged to call
her a friend.”
Some of the specialized services the company offers are
state certified security personnel, concierge services, CCTV

Keith Thompson, owner of ABOX Packaging, also has kind
remarks: “I have had the privilege of knowing Wendy Thomas
for many years. She is very active in the Kaufman area both
professionally and personally. Wendy is a tireless worker and
contributor to the betterment of our county and city. She
serves on several Boards and is very instrumental in many
positive changes and fund raising efforts for our community.
She is very focused and dedicated to the volunteer aspect of
making changes for the citizens of Kaufman County.”
In 2010, Ms. Thomas received her certification from the
Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC),
the nation’s largest third party certifier, as a Woman-Owned
Business. In addition, for the last five consecutive years,
Thomas Protective Service, Inc. has been selected as a “Top
100 Woman-Owned Business in the Nation” and a “Top 25
Woman-Owned Business in Texas” by Diversity Business.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Ms. Thomas was recently
accepted into the American College of Homeland Security
where she will be examining to receive her Certification as a
Homeland Security Expert and was recently accepted into the
American College of Forensic Examiners as a security expert.
A Servant’s Heart
The Thomas Family often sponsors and contributes to
non-profit groups and fundraisers, including the Kaufman
Children’s Shelter, Kaufman Chamber of Commerce Civic
Auction and Golf Tournament, Texas Health Presbyterian
Black Tie Ball, United Way of Kaufman County, Kaufman

Memory of a Loved One
Upon the loss of their loved one (Kaufman County
Sheriff ’s Department Patrol Sergeant Carl “Skip” Thomas),
The Thomas Family established the Carl “Skip” Thomas,
III Memorial Fund benefiting first responders who work in
Kaufman County faced with a life-threatening illness. In
addition, a scholarship was established to graduating KHS
seniors interested in a law enforcement career. “We wanted
to honor the memory of my brother in a way that he would
be very proud and would be of benefit to those he worked
with,” states Ms. Thomas. “We have experienced first-hand
the brethren and camaraderie of the law enforcement and
fire fighting community through our loss of Skip. If it were
not for their support and compassion during our greatest
personal tragedy, I don’t think we would have the courage to
return to our daily lives.”
