Dear Chamber Members, Partners, and Friends,

As we gather tonight to celebrate another year of growth and connection, I am reminded of the incredible strength of our business community. Together, we are laying the foundation for a vibrant, thriving tomorrow. The future is bright.

This past year, your Chamber has worked hard to create opportunities, foster relationships, and champion the businesses that make our community strong. We’ve welcomed new members, hosted impactful programs like our “State of” series, Informative Luncheons, brought The National Civic Bee to McAlester, and continued to monitor and advocate for policies that support growth and innovation.

Through networking events, leadership development, and community partnerships, we’ve built platforms where businesses of all sizes can succeed. From celebrating our educators and supporting workforce initiatives to highlighting local businesses and creating spaces for meaningful connections, the Chamber is proud to serve as a catalyst for progress.

None of this would be possible without the dedication of our board, ambassadors, sponsors, and — most importantly — our members. Your investment in the Chamber is an investment in the future of our community, and together, we are proving that the future is indeed bright.

Thank you for believing in the Chamber’s mission and for standing with us as we continue to serve, advocate, and grow. I am honored to walk alongside you in this journey, and I cannot wait to see what we accomplish together in the year ahead.
