Chairman Chris Luna: Wrapping up the year of Relevance      

When people ask me about my involvement with the Richardson Chamber of Commerce, I tell them how proud I am to be part of an organization that cares so much about the well-being of its members, its community and the local business environment. I am convinced we have the hardest working, most dedicated staff and volunteers of any Chamber out there. They work tirelessly to make our Chamber the five-star organization it is. 
 

Chamber thanks retiring board members for dedication and service, welcomes new members    

 

The leadership provided by the board of directors is part of what makes the Richardson Chamber so strong. During a typical three-year term, the board members spend countless volunteer hours ensuring that The Chamber maintains financial stability and stays true to the mission. This month, four valued members will complete their tenure on the board, as defined by Chamber bylaws. Please join us in thanking them for their commitment to making the Chamber the best it can be.

Tech companies find a home through the Chamber's Metroplex Technology Business Council

 
Richardson has a long history with technology, even spawning the Telecom Corridor. In the 90s, the interest in technology spurned a committee that eventually was rebranded as a tech association that encompasses all of North Texas. The Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC), housed out of the Chamber offices, is the largest technology trade association in Texas, representing a quarter million employees through its 300 member companies.
