Greater Irving - Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce

As we mark Beth A. Bowman, IOM, CCE’s 10 years of service to Irving-Las Colinas, we want to honor her deep commitment to all our member investors. Under Beth’s leadership, our Chamber has consistently retained its 5-Star accreditation, a recognition we first earned in 2009. From our annual Small Business Blitz celebrating our community’s more than 8,500 small businesses and ribbon cuttings welcoming new businesses home to participating in Irving ISD’s annual Back-to-School luncheons and every moment in between, Beth dynamically leads our 5-Star team every day in ensuring Irving-Las Colinas’ authenticity as the ideal place to live, take care of business and enjoy life. “Beth is an outstanding leader, and her dedication and commitment to excellence for Irving-Las Colinas are reflected in the city’s continuing reputation as the ‘Headquarters of Headquarters’ in Texas,” said Chairman Brad Watson. “Throughout her tenure as president and CEO, Beth has focused on economic development opportunities and initiatives that not only benefit our member investors, our business community and our residents but also foster Irving-Las Colinas’ continued growth in key sectors. It’s truly a privilege to serve alongside her and her team.” Thank you, Beth, for your dedication and loyalty to our community! #congratulations #10years #economicdevelopment #irvinglascolinas #community #servantleadership #catalyticleadership??
