for the 8(a) firms in his region.
This year, in the San Antonio service area, the

8(a) contracts and over $500 million in small
business loans under Anthony’s leadership.
Before joining SBA, Anthony’s private sector
professional experience included 22 years as a
business owner, five years as a commercial bank
lender, and five years as an international banker
financing global trade for manufacturing firms.
Anthony’s education includes an undergraduate
degree in International Relations (Cal-State,
L.A.), an MBA double major in International
Finance & International Marketing (University
of Southern California), and a Law Degree

Fall is my favorite time of year for several different
reasons, one of them being the final push for businesses
within their calendar year. The final few months bring a
host of holiday celebrations that our businesses thrive from
and events that foster partnerships within this community.
This time of year we also begin to evaluate the accom-
plishments of our current year and turn to planning for the
coming year. Last month your Chamber board, committee
leadership and staff met in a retreat setting to review the
past year and its challenges, and to discuss and plan for the
opportunities that lie ahead. We are often excited when
using the word retreat, however what excited me the most
about the day was the energy and enthusiasm from our
2016-2017 Board of Directors and Chamber staff. Thank you to everyone who respond-
ed to the membership survey. Your input and feedback gave us direction and a basis for
some productive brainstorming and planning.
October was a busy month for the Chamber, beginning with Business Expo. The
McNease Convention Center was abuzz with vendors showcasing their wares and
attendees excited and curious to learn all about them. Many thanks to all the Silver
Sponsors, Exhibitor’s Lounge Sponsors and Business @ Happy Hour Sponsors, as well
as auction donors who generously gave and made the Business Expo an event with 25
years of success.
It was a sellout crowd at last month’s membership luncheon as we gathered to hear
Mayor Dwain Morrison deliver the “State of the City” address. He expounded upon five
points of major accomplishments the City has realized. The luncheon was sponsored by
The City of San Angelo and Fort Concho National Historic Landmark, Eagle Safety
Management, KIDY FOX, and the Standard-Times.
The 34th class of Leadership San Angelo kicked off last month with a two-day
ROPES course and team-building sessions at the West Texas Boys Ranch. This class is
proving to be a great mix of individuals from many different industries in San Angelo
and they have already shown that they work well together. It promises to be a great class
of present and future leaders.
Here are some upcoming membership opportunities you won’t want to miss:
Join us for our Annual Diversity Awards Luncheon which will be held on Tuesday,
Nov. 8th from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the McNease Convention Center, 501 Rio
Concho Drive. Our keynote speaker will be Anthony Ruiz, District Director from
the San Antonio Small Business Administration office.
The Nov. 15th Business Brown Bag luncheon topic will be “Fire Safety in the
Workplace” and will be held in the Visitor Center River View Room. Ross
Coleman, Fire Marshall, will be our speaker. There is no charge to attend, but you
must make a reservation by calling 655-4136 to hold your seat. You may also order
a $10 lunch or bring your own lunch. Business Brown Bag is jointly sponsored by
the Chamber, ASU’s Small Business Development Center and The Business Factory.
November’s Business @ Happy Hour will be held Tuesday, Nov. 22nd at the Elks
Lodge, 2121 S. Chadbourne St. from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
I encourage each and every one of you to get out and vote on Election Day. It is our
duty and our privilege and certainly one of the things that makes this country great.
Let’s continue to do our part for not only our community, but also our country, as well.
Your success is our success and we want to continue to serve businesses in the
Concho Valley. With your partnership we can continue to develop programs that
provide advocacy, education and economic growth for San Angelo, Texas.
Sincerely,
Jamie Akin
Chairman of the Board
ACTION REPORT NOVEMBER 2016 PAGE 2
PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 2016 ACTION REPORT
As you may be aware, my wife Mary
and our three daughters spent the last
15 years in Overland Park, Kansas, a
suburb of greater Kansas City. One of
the most difficult tasks we had with
the move was deciding what house-
hold items we should and shouldn’t
take on our trek here.
Our San Angelo home doesn’t have
a basement or a “man cave.” So the
coin operated pinball machines,
foosball table, game table, etc., didn’t make the move. I know,
upsetting isn’t it? And the bulky children’s toys, strollers and
furniture we were saving for our children’s first home or
future grandchildren didn’t make the move either. Mary and I
both experienced a sad moment when the crib our three girls
slept in went to a new home. But we took comfort in knowing
it went to a young family in great need expecting their first
child. In the process, I learned “letting go” was often difficult
and personal. Especially when it came to anything once
belonging to the girls or my own childhood.
But not everything was difficult as I took great pleasure in
donating my snow blower to one of our neighbors.
The moving process was a lot of work. Actually packing
and moving was the easy part. Changing bank accounts, phone
numbers, driver’s licenses, voter registrations, utilities and
countless change of address requests was the real work.
But now that we are settled in (for the most part), I’m real-
izing that if I didn’t let go and trust others, it would be diffi-
cult, way too difficult, to move forward. And if I didn’t have
help along the way, the move would have been impossible.
For it’s through letting go, trusting, delegating and empower-
ing others that we truly grow within ourselves and in our lead-
ership worlds.
When we trust and delegate correctly it empowers others
and increases ownership. Makes everyone part of the team.
And involving others often uncovers unseen viewpoints, new
talents, perspectives or approaches and hopefully, new solu-
tions and a better product. Trust and delegating are often diffi-
cult to practice. But if we trust others and become more open
to the new ideas that will be generated, growth and opportuni-
ty will come a lot easier.
The San Angelo Chamber of Commerce would not be the
organization it is today without the active involvement and
participation of our members. And it’s not just your member-
ship dues. It’s your ideas, feedback, volunteer time and labor
that will make San Angelo a better place to do business.
Please know that your suggestions, ideas and involvement
are always welcome and encouraged. Please feel free to send
an email to [email protected] or call my cell anytime at
325-656-5555 if you would like to share a thought or an idea.

ACTION REPORT NOVEMBER 2016 PAGE 4
The Economic Development Division of the San Angelo
Chamber of Commerce is staffed by Michael Looney, VP, and
Heather Givens-Kumpe, ED Specialist. The department creates
strategies for economic development on behalf of the communi-
ty of San Angelo, and works with all of the regional economic
development partners to achieve these goals. The Chamber’s
economic development division is a key player in development
of new company prospects for our city. Our main objective is to
market San Angelo to a national and international audience,
targeting companies that may have an interest in expansion or
relocation to the Concho Valley. To name a few, these include
machine parts manufacturing operations, heavy transport com-
panies and related wholesale distribution centers, aviation-
related companies, food and pet products manufacturers, green
energy companies (solar, wind and biofuels), contact centers
(financial and insurance services), oil and gas producers and
related service companies.
WAYS WE REACH A NATIONAL MARKET
In any given month, we meet with several prospective com-
panies interested in our region that can work in collaboration
with our existing industry sectors and create new good job
options for our citizens. We outreach to these prospects in a
wide variety of ways. Some of these prospects come through
the Chamber of Commerce by contacting us directly, as we are
many prospects’ first line of connection to our market, however,
we engage many of our recruitment prospects by more direct
means.
NATIONAL TRADE SHOWS AND LOCAL
INDUSTRY EXPOSITIONS
We attend between four and six national industry trade
shows per year, which is a great way to meet dozens of in-
dustry decision-makers in one place. This year alone, the ED
department attended four national trade shows, with the de-
sired result in several companies expressing interest in poten-
tial expansion here. Closer to home we also host San Angelo
industry expositions that focus on specific industry sectors.
This year in San Angelo, the Economic Development Divi-
sion co-hosted the Southwest Energy Summit, the Southwest
Energy Transmission Summit and the Wind and Solar Expo
(which helped us recruit a solar power company to town).
These three Expos brought corporate leadership and industry
experts from as far away as Boston and Seattle. Making these
industry connections is critical to spreading the message that
San Angelo has excellent opportunities for business growth
in a variety of industries. The added benefit is the ability to
showcase San Angelo directly to these industry leaders with
one-on-one time spent and city tours.
BROADCASTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS
THE CONTINENT AND EUROPE
We reach these national and international companies via a
robust print marketing campaign in many industry and site
selection publications, with full and multi-page ads. This year,
we advertised in the Governor’s national/international trade
book, TEXAS – WIDE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, with a four-
page ad. We also did a four-page ad in the FDI Alliance Maga-
zine, a foreign direct investment publication that is sent to hun-
dreds of North American and European site selectors and com-
pany directors. It was also featured as the official publication of
the International Economic Development Council’s 2016 annu-
al conference in Cleveland, OH. We also ran a full-page ad in
Trade & Industry Development Journal, which is a premier site
selection magazine. All of these publications are delivered to
their readers in print and digitally.
While building awareness of our special San Angelo market,
available facilities and workforce opportunities, these articles
also tell the story of our unique culture, including the high level
of sophistication of our stable and diverse economy.
Trade Shows and Publications are only one aspect of our
annual recruitment outreach. Next month, we will highlight the
other ways we reach specifically targeted industries across the
State and Nation through direct relationship building. We have
big plans for 2017 and look forward to sharing with you, our
members, just how we plan to promote growth of our San
Angelo economy.

their biggest events of the year. In addition
to the permanent resident artists, approxi-
mately 40 additional artists come to show-
case their work while live music fills the

The November issue of Texas
Highways features two articles
on San Angelo. One article
talks about the dollars our
Elmer Kelton Committee
raised to erect a statue of
Elmer in the library, as well
as finding treasured Kelton
collectibles, Western liter-
ature and Texana at the
Cactus Book Store. It also
mentions that foodies
will enjoy the collection of
Texas cookbooks at Eggemeyer’s General
Store! The second story is featured on
the inside back cover and is a follow-up
from Daytripper Chet Garner’s visit to
San Angelo last year.
