WHAT WE DO
Connect. Improve. Empower.
Connect: To know your market, you also have to know your Chamber Members.
We provide a variety of ways to network and connect with your local business community - gaining yourself and your business exposure - but also a better understanding of who and what makes up our Uvalde.
​
By connecting our members to each other, we can ensure that they form meaningful relationships and a lasting impact for our community through their working stewardship.
​
Improve: If you're not striving to be a better you, providing a better service, and therefore a better Uvalde, you're missing out on untapped growth and potential. As the Chamber we understand growth is hard - but it's easier with company. Whether you come into the Chamber office to get a few pointers and a referral to a member who can more extensively help you and your business, or you're participating in the Chamber Professional Development Events - we encourage you to continually improve.
​
By improving ourselves and our businesses, we can #GrowUvalde to an even bigger and better legacy for our children.
​
Empower: We encourage our members to be active in their chamber and community through service and leadership. Whether that is being a part of a committee, serving as a board member, graduating the Leadership Uvalde Program to become a Uvalde Ambassador, or by serving with a member civic organization - we know that empowerment of self and others comes through the works of service.
By empowering our members, we become a more effective Chamber - and together can strengthen our community and trade region as a whole.
