SKCC Luncheon Meeting Agenda

Spring Klein Chamber of Commerce

[Connect. Community.  Thrive.]

Kick-Off Luncheon Meeting Agenda

May 6, 2008 – 11:00 to 2:00

 

 

OBJECTIVE:          The purpose of the meeting is to connect local Spring and Klein area business community members and to further opportunities in regards to commerce, education, the arts, tourism, governmental representation and residential quality of life.  By incorporating a focused agenda as one voice, the Spring and Klein areas will be represented appropriately as a thriving and affluent area of significant growth and promise.

 

HISTORY:             The Klein and Spring communities are located approximately 20 miles northwest of Houston. Both are unincorporated, overlap each other geographically and have a rich German heritage that deserves recognition and honor, while also welcoming continued commercial growth and expansion that promotes business opportunities, increased property values and improved quality of life. 

 

GOAL:                    To identify perceived business community needs in the Spring/Klein area and establish committees and implement programs that will address those needs in a systematic and cohesive manner.  Create additional opportunities for connections through networking mixers, luncheons and social events that will support our community businesses.
