O" OLLEGE STATION, TX Sunday, February 20, 1983 Progress Together 1982 Annual Report 1983 Program of Work Page 2 Chamber of Commerce, Sunday, February 20, 1983 1982 in Review A letter from the 1982 Chamber President Your 1982 Chamber of Commerce performed effectively because of the broad based volunteer involvement in a wide variety of areas. Of the 1500 Chamber members 444 volunteers participated in 57 different committee efforts under 9 different divisions. These volunteers represented the largest single force in our community working to improve the economic viability of Bryan -College Station. All volunteers deserve appreciation for their ef- forts toward continuous community improve- ment. Although all divisions accomplished outstan- ding work the progress in two divisions was highly visible because of organizational changes. When in January of 1982 the Information and Hospitali- ty Center merged with the Chamber, the Chamber established the Convention Visitor Division, allowing it to stimulate further growth of an often overlooked industry, tourism. Tourism enriched Brazos County by $52 million worth of travel - generated expenditures in 1982, an amount which places the county in the top 10 percent of Texas counties. Continued Chamber emphasis will bring even larger convention tourism dividends. The industrial division helped to create good working communications among the four in- dustrial foundations seeking to attract new in- dustry to the community, because these four groups providing research, high-tech, and manufacturing/warehouse sites work closely with the Chamber. Bryan -College Station has the best possibility of attracting industry that will continue to improve our economic basis. As demonstrated in the success of the 1982 pro- grams the work of collective Chamber members can and will exert significant impact on Bryan - College Station.

Scamardo, 1983 President We Have iffier 24 Hour Teller A letter from the 1983 Chamber President By all major personal and business standards, Bryan -College Station is an above average com- munity. The economy in Brazos County has been affected less than most communities by the depressed national economy and will be among the first to experience a strong economic boom as the national economy continues to improve. One of the major considerations in 1983 will be to solicit positive input and active participation from the membership and community leaders on an ongoing basis during the year. Home is impor- tant to all of us, so we should get involved and be concerned about planning for the future of our community. This community will continue to grow and prosper, but planning for quality life and orderly growth is really what is most impor- tant. I am confident that we will have a successful Chamber year because of the caliber and quality of people who have agreed to serve in leadership positions in 1983. Please review details regarding our Program of Work and become familiar with the Chamber officers and directors who have ac- cepted specific responsibility for community Chamber projects this year. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as your Chamber Presi- dent and look forward to working with you because I know we can make significant communi- ty progress together in 1983.

Janice Moseley RepublicBank A&M Banquet Chairman Banquet Theme The theme for this year's banquet, "Progress Together," immediately brought to mind the use of the new Bryan -College Station Chamber of Commerce logo (two chains linked together) and colors of red, white and blue indicating a unity of strength from both communities striving for one main effort — a better place to work, to live and to do business. There are thousands of volunteered man hours for Chamber functions of one kind or another given in all areas. However, the annual banquet is the function where everyone from all divisions come together in a relaxed atmosphere, share ideas and get better acquainted with one another. Innovations this year such as the clustered tables, music and fellowship were initiated to en- courage open communication which is a top priority in 1983. Board members and Blazers were given coordinated lapel ribbons so they can be easily identified to encourage discussion about our activities during the banquet. We hope the warm, friendly atmosphere of the banquet will continue throughout the year.

As the official ambassador and recruitment arm of the Chamber of Commerce, the Blazers are set- ting new records and higher stan- dards in their support of the Chamber. They provide for ground breakings, grand open- ings, expansions of existing businesses, recruiting of new Chamber members, and sponser new member orientation breakfasts. Their goal of $23,000 in new memberships for 1983 reflects the optimism the Blazers have for both the continuing development of Bryan -College Station and the important role of the Chamber of Commerce. With personal initiative and self-motivation, each individual establishes a goal to sell new memberships, then strives to achieve that goal. The Bryan -College Station Blazers are unique because they are the only Chamber organiza- tion in a Texas SMSA that gives personal and individual attention to all new members.

Our Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of citizens who are investing their time and money in a community development pro- gram — working together to improve the economic, civic and cultural well-being of the area. Any citizen who is interested in helping to develop our area (which means more money — more business — more jobs and better living for everyone) is eligible to be a member of our Chamber of Commerce. The dues structure is designed to permit the smallest business or any professional person to be a member. Our Chamber of Commerce is composed of Committee Workers, Directors, and Officers who serve without pay. The Executive Vice President Manager) and his staff who devote their full time to our Chamber of Commerce are the only paid employees. What does it do? Our Chamber of Commerce is a service institu- tion and an action organization. It provides a medium through which people can take effective action for the progress of the community. It helps to create job opportunities through stimulation of industrial and commercial growth, for established and new firms. It seeks the improvement of community facilities... streets,_Wghways, parks, schools, and marketing facilities. It brings conventions, sales meetings, and other gatherings to our cities, thus bringing more money into the area. It works toward developing the agriculture and agricultural industry of the area. In all these functions, our Chamber of Com- merce is serving as a branch — a partner — of every business and every professional person in our area. How does it work? Our Chamber of Commerce functions through working committees which are the backbone of the organization. Money, planning, inspiration and guidance are useless unless the members work vigorously on the committee of their choice. Careful study is made of the community needs ind an action blueprint, the program of work, is iesigned. The goal of the program is always to reate more dollars for more people and to im- prove the economic welfare of all. Every member has a voice in determining the policies and projects and every member is needed to work on an active committee to get the job done. At present several committees are operating in the area of Agriculture, Industry, Civic Develop- ment, Commercial Development and Tourist Development.
