2025 Greater Dallas Chapter-Texas Restaurant Association Board Retreat is behind us, and what a rousing success it was. ??Did you know the restaurant industry in Texas brought in over $105 Billion in revenue last year? ??And DFW accounted for almost 30% of that massive revenue number? ??AND…DFW has one of the largest representative chapters of the Texas Restaurant Association in the state in terms of members and board leadership? All of which to say is - our 2025 Program of Work will do some pretty epic things for our local and state industries: ? EDUCATE and lift up the next generation of industry leaders. ? RAISE funds to benefit our core initiatives and the Texas Restaurant Foundation. ? ADVOCATE on behalf of our local and state industries in the State and Federal legislatures. ? GROW Texas Restaurant Association Membership to an unprecedented number - our industry is much stronger and more influential as a larger collective. ? AMPLIFY the diverse community of restaurant brands, from single-unit startups to multi-unit regional - and ensure we support and help scale all of them into major success stories. Their success is OUR success.
