Chairman's Message
Kirt Speaks-familyCan you believe that kids are out of school already or will be very soon? College students are pouring back into our community. Our spring showers have certainly made an impact on my trees and garden. The warmth of summer is really becoming a reality! I know I always say how time flies, but it really does.

This month while school events come to a close I want to encourage everyone to make a goal to attend an event that maybe you don't normally attend.....a Chamber Night Out, Business on the Hill, Ambassador event, Ribbon Cutting. I can say that if you want to get more, you have to give more. So make June your month to "Give". Give to new businesses, give to events, give to our local charities --such as the food pantry and watch giving return right back to you!

Thanks for being a part of a great community. The people here never cease to amaze me with their genorosity and happy demeanor! Enjoy the beginning of summer.

April Ambassador of the Month

Sherry Kennedy, ProForma A-Z Specialties

 

Sherry KennedySherry has been in the promotional side of the business for about 30 years as an office administrator, sales rep and now owner of Proforma A-Z Specialties. Tom left the corporate world to join her 24 years ago. They moved from Chicago to Duncanville in May 1987. From 1989 - 1991 they owned their own screen printing company where they screen printed apparel for their customers as well as for other distributors. Because they were blessed with adopting their daughter, and there were only 24 hours in a day, they sold the business in 1991. In October 2000, they joined Proforma and became Proforma A-Z Specialties.

Proforma is a franchise company. They joined because there are so many other opportunities for them to be their customer's Business Solutions Provider. Not only can they provide them with every promotional item such as screen printed and embroidered apparel, trade show banners and giveaways, writing instruments, calendars, Christmas gifts; they can also provide their customers with printed material such as business cards, brochures, books, pamphlets, etc.; e-commerce solutions such as company stores, and now social media and multi-media such as commercials, mobile texting, etc.
