1 Driving business success why the Chamber is good for real estate The advantage of being active with the Chamber is that you re in-the-know when opportunities come up. Charlie Chen DFW Technology As a real estate professional, you know that information and people are crucial to your success. Your business depends on knowing who is buying or selling, what is available and what its value is. You can find both information and leads at the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber s Broker & Developer series is a bi-monthly luncheon for commercial real estate professionals, hosted at available properties in Richardson. The purpose of the lunch is to create visibility for vacant properties and bring commercial brokers and developers together. The Growth & Mobility Luncheon focuses on current economic development activities in Richardson and transportation issues impacting Richardson and the surrounding area. You can network with other real estate professionals at these events, and meet people of other professional backgrounds at our breakfast or happy hour networking events. Community pride and recognition also contribute to you and your businesses success. When you give back to the community, your customers and contacts feel good about doing business with you. A national study found consumers are 63 percent more likely to do business with a company they believe is a member of the Chamber. With many sponsorship opportunities, your company can be branded as building something longterm beyond just buildings and space. Your involvement with the Chamber will give you access to more civic leaders and will add credibility to your reputation in the community. When it comes to growing your business, YOU are in the driver s seat. Join the Richardson Chamber of Commerce so, together, we can drive business success for you and the real estate community in Richardson. Where do you want to go?
2 Jerry Cornelius Canyon Creek Art & Frame Chamber members are driving bu Dan Johnson Richardson City Manager Geoff Wright Dine Smart, Dine Local Paul Peck Entrepreneur Mentor The Richardson Chamber of Commerce has been driving business success in Richardson for nearly 70 years. There s a reason we are accredited in the top 1% of chambers of commerce in the country with a 5-star rating by the US Chamber of Commerce, earned in Economic development is the cornerstone of what we do for the community. The Chamber has members of the staff dedicated to marketing Richardson to companies looking to relocate their businesses, especially those companies who hire workers with advanced skill sets. Why? Companies bring jobs, especially high-paying jobs, which give Richardson residents a higher standard of living. At the same time, successful businesses create a strong tax base that can be used in our city for quality roads, parks and resources for our kids schools. The shining example of the last year is the $1.5 billion mixed-use development at Plano Road and the George Bush Turnpike, where State Farm will create thousands of jobs. The Chamber works to both bring in new retail businesses and revitalize current shopping centers in Richardson. The last 10 years has brought improvements to 10 shopping centers and creation of more than 50 new restaurants. Movement continues along US 75, particularly in the Heights Shopping Center with the addition of the Alamo Drafthouse, an acquisition that was a direct result of Chamber efforts. The Chamber has educated the leaders of Richardson businesses and civic leaders since Leadership Richardson (LR) is a shining example of building community leadership. Current Richardson Mayor Laura Maczka said LR showed me that there is so much more to our community and ways to get involved. I went through LR and jumped in with both feet into the bigger community. Five years later, I am serving in ways I never dreamed I would serve. The Chamber influenced gaining tax breaks for businesses during this year s Texas legislative session. The Chamber also produces a score card for members about how their legislators voted during the session. Where do you want to go? The Chamber can help you get there. Find out about our various programs for all kinds of needs and types of businesses. We know people, we help your neighbors, and we re driving your business success.
