Dallas Regional Chamber Annual Meeting

The Dallas Regional Chamber’s Annual Meeting will review 2011 accomplishments, unveil a video montage interviewing national, local and global executives on why they moved to Dallas, and launch its new mobile website on Thursday, January 26 at the Fairmont Hotel (1717 N. Akard Street, Dallas). The event, held from noon–1 p.m. in the Regency Ballroom, will also announce new board members.

The behind-the-scenes footage, entitled “You Belong Here”, features interviews with Texas state Rep. Rafael Anchia (D); Vinnie Mitz, President of Copart; Gabriella Draney, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Tech Wildcatters; and Milton De La Paz, Regional Manager for Qantas Airlines, on why they have relocated or expanded their operations in the Dallas region. The video also features Chiji Offor, Associate for Jones Day and Mike Cheyney, National Accounts Manager, Rolland Safe and Lock Company.

“Together we have made great strides towards our five year goals, laid out last year in our strategic plan – Blueprint for Economic Prosperity. Our video montage demonstrates what makes Dallas such a desirable location to work and live through the eyes of a few of our members,” said Amb. James C. Oberwetter, President and CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber. “The six stories featured in the video are just a part of the tremendous efforts our members engaged in this past year. We are a membership-driven organization and are focused on working together to achieve our goals.”

The Dallas Regional Chamber will also launch its new mobile website at the luncheon. Available at web.dallaschamber.org/mobile, the mobile website allows members and the public to register for events, search the Chamber’s member directory, view coupons and browse news articles.
