On February 8th, the Chamber held its 145th Annual Meeting. It was a great privilege to introduce our incoming board chair Ali Khataw, recognize our board, celebrate the success of 2022, and to focus on what lies ahead.

We had the honor of congratulating our 2022 Board Chair, Fred Heldenfels. The Chamber needs people to dedicate a substantial amount of time to help this organization be the voice of business across the region. That is exactly the type of person Fred is and we thank him for his time, effort, and service to the Austin Chamber!

Ali Khataw, 2023 Board Chair, then gave an inspirational speech and gave us a glimpse into what lies ahead for our city. He emphasized how our work, our focus, and our purpose is about people.

"We have much to look forward to in the year ahead and much to accomplish. We will accomplish big things by focusing on the Chamber’s mission, continuing our commitment to collaboration, and remembering that the leading lines point to people." - Ali Khataw, 2023 Board Chair
