Each year, approximately 1,000 volunteers work together as Chamber volunteers to help ensure that San Antonio continues to have a strong business friendly culture; and few work as hard on this as the Board of Directors. Chamber Chairman Sam Dawson recognized Vice Chairmen, Council Chairmen and those who completed three-year and one-year discretionary Board appointments at the December meeting.
First, he thanked the Vice Chairmen who served, including Mario Barrera (Bracewell & Giuliani), who also serves as the Chamber’s Legal Advisor, Chris Cheever (Broadway National Bank), Renée Flores (AT&T) who also served as WOW Week Chairman and Frank Burney (Martin & Drought).
