Chairman’s Message

“Come as you are….”

 It is a great privilege for me to deliver this message to our ever-growing membership, and the citizens of the Alvin-Manvel area.  I have a tremendous amount of pride in being a part of this community, and being able to serve our business leaders in promoting economic prosperity.

We are fortunate to have the quintessential strategic partnerships within our communities, assisting us in forging through this questionable economic climate.  By partnering with Alvin Community College, Alvin Independent School District, our Mayors’ offices, and our State and County officials, we have been able to sustain our growth.  These community allies are what sets us apart as a desirable place to live and learn.

In this coming year, it is ever so important for us to continue to come together in unity for our communities.  No matter what our role in this community may be, we all possess individual qualities to contribute to sustaining and improving our quality of life.  Whether you are the banker, the insurance agent, the auto mechanic, the President/CEO, the administrative assistant, the school teacher, or the honest-hard working employee, you all have a place in our Chamber of Commerce.  You all make this place home.  So I say to you, “Come as you are.” 

Get out, get involved, and make it happen!  You are only as successful as the effort you put forth.  I have a strong desire to make everyone feel they are welcome.  Whether you are blue collar, white collar, or no collar, come see what the Alvin-Manvel Area Chamber of Commerce can do for you!!  Come as you are, represent yourself and get involved in making our great community a more desirable place to live!

I am very proud to serve as your 2011 Chairman of the Board.  I anticipate great things for our future, and look forward to assisting the Staff, my fellow Directors, and our volunteers to ensure we do a phenomenal job for our business community.

Sincerely,

 Gabe Adame
