The following is a press release from Lubbock Chamber of Commerce.
The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce joins other Chambers of Commerce around the state of Texas in celebrating Texas Chamber of Commerce Week October 16-20.
Chambers of Commerce have played an important role in the development of our nation and the state of Texas. Whether openly or with a silent hand chambers have guided policy and taken action to affect change in our state and been present at many famous and infamous places throughout our countries history. At each strategic inflection point of your community and this state, if you look closely, it is a safe bet that the chamber of commerce was present.
As a Chamber member or citizen of a community benefiting from the work of your local chamber of commerce, your money, how and where you get to work, how the country or this state was settled, even possibly the existence of this country as we know it has something to do with the chambers of the past. This remarkable history provides us with great hope for the future of our country and this great state.
The Lubbock Chamber thanks its professional staff and volunteer leaders that work every day to make Lubbock a better place to do business and live, work and play.
The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce represents over 1,900 businesses and over 79,000 employees on the South Plains which accounts for over $2 billion in annual household earnings in Lubbock and West Texas. The Chamber has twice earned the distinguished 5-Star Accreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is a two-time Chamber of the Year recognized by the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
