SPECIAL LETTER & REQUEST FROM THE EDITOR: PARTNER IN TEXAS GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY FOR ENTREPRENEURS
The Texas State Governor Greg Abbott named our Texas State Chamber (Texas Association of Business) partner, President & CEO, Glenn Hamer, to chair the newly created Small Business Freedom Council, to source feedback and identify ways to help small businesses interface with government state agencies easier. Hamer has asked the Texas Venture Alliance, as the state’s largest innovation network of entrepreneurs — and the entire ecosystem of startup support including investors, accelerators, university innovation, regional chambers of commerce and economic development corporations, and more— to help collect information and suggestions to him at the Chamber.
“We are honored and eager to help Glenn collect and organize ideas from Texas’ brightest small business owners, the nearly 10,000 startup founders & ecosystem partners that our entire statewide network now reaches,” CS Freeland, Founding Executive Director of Texas Venture Alliance said. “Thank you to Glenn Hamer for choosing us as a top partner, and to the Texas Chamber team’s continued collaboration, to amplify this new and important directive from the governor. We will work hard now and into the early next year to assist in any way, the review of how Texas government can work with our community in a more efficient and effective manner.”
