Greetings,

It has been an exciting start to 2022 and as I shared last month, the Chamber is endeavoring to set ambitious and important benchmarks for ourselves and for the business community in El Paso. Despite the turmoil on the global stage, innovation continues to be an important part of our path forward this year, both as we execute our strategy and as we look for new horizons to explore.

Happy 2022 from the El Paso Chamber! Nothing is more exciting to me than the turn to a new year. A new year allows us to strive toward higher, more complex benchmarks and infuse everything we do with a sense of purpose and optimism.
