What we desperately need right now is a positive attitude in all our endeavors. 1984: The Year Ahead Letter from the 1984 Chamber President Louis Newman To that end, our hope is to dramatically expand and intensify our tourist and convention efforts through our College Station bran- This page sponsored by • ch...and through a newly formed task force, just an- nounced, to make signifi- cant progress toward im- proving and restoring the downtown Bryan business district.

A major effort was made to encourage positive in- put from the Chamber membership this year.

A Hotel -Motel Association was established and encouraged to participate with the Chamber in the development of signifi- cant materials designed to help convention solicitation ef- forts. The Leadership Brazos Program was initiated to en- courage informed and positive participation in our communi- ty organizations and govern- ment. This program should continue to support quality living and communication in our community for many years to come. The Chamber Speakers Bureau was initiated so that community organiza- tions and clubs might have ac- cess to a chamber represen- tative who would speak at their meetings about our com- munity Chamber function and current programs.

We learned a lot about our community con- cerns and our Chamber organization itself. I see the process as an open exchange of opinions and as a growing experience for our total com- munity. I hope that, in the end, we have a stronger Chamber of Commerce because we understand one another better, and that we will respond to the feelings, concerns and goals for Bryan - College Station as a total economic community. I hope that eventually we can build an even stronger friendship through a 50/50 partnership between Bryan and College Station based on cooperation, respect, and trust.

In all these functions, our Chamber of Commerce 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, plann- ing, inspiration and guidance are useless unless the members work vigorously on the committee of their choice. Careful study is made of the community needs and an action blueprint, the program of work, is designed. The goal of the program is always to create more dollars for more people and to improve 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 Development, Commercial Development and Tourist Development.
