Board of Directors
Letter From the Board Chair
Are you taking advantage of your Chamber membership? Let me tell you about some upcoming opportunities that are available to you and your colleagues as members of the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce.
The 11th Annual School Is Cool event will take place on Thursday, August 1st at the W.T. Brookshire Conference Center and the Rose Garden Center. This is a community-wide event where over 2,000 students receive supply-filled backpacks as well as an opportunity to get back-to-school haircuts, immunizations, and so much more. This is one of the “coolest” events that happens in Tyler. It’s not too late to volunteer or sponsor this event! Reach out to LaToya Young at lyoung@tylertexas.com for more information about how you can support the future of Tyler.
Calling all football fans! On August 6th, SPORTyler and the chamber will host the 18th Annual East Texas Kick Off luncheon at the W.T. Brookshire Conference Center. This is your opportunity to get a sneak peek at the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list and join area athletes and coaches as they kick off the 2024 football season.
Join fellow chamber members at the quarterly Power Networking breakfast on August 21st. It’s a great time to market your business and network with other local businesses. The breakfast is at the TISD Career and Technology Center which is reason enough to attend.
If you are not a morning person, swing by one of the upcoming Chamber After Hours on July 25th at Venue One Eleven downtown and August 22nd at the Holiday Inn Tyler Conference Center on S. Broadway. Join us for a little after-hours socializing with other area businesses.
And, of course, please mark your calendars for the Chamber Annual Meeting on October 1st. We will look back over the past year and usher in a new one. We will also recognize some special Tyler organizations and individuals who make our community the best place to live and work. It will be my last official event as your Chamber chair and I would love to have you there to celebrate with me.
Information about each of these events can be found on the Chamber website at www.tylertexas.com
As always, thank you for your membership in the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce. Because of your investment, our chamber is one of the best in the country!
Shannon Dacus | 2024 Board Chair
