In 2025, the Austin Chamber of Commerce continued to drive forward a bold vision for our region—one centered on economic growth, business success, and a thriving, inclusive community.

This year’s Annual Report highlights the momentum behind that work. From supporting local businesses and entrepreneurs to advancing workforce development and strengthening Austin’s long-term competitiveness, our efforts remained focused on what matters most: creating opportunity.


  • Leading on the Issues That Matter Most

    "Together, we’ve taken on issues that will shape the future of our region—opposing Prop Q on the November ballot, championing statewide policies that strengthen our economy, and ensuring Austin remains a place where businesses and people can thrive."

    - Mark Ramseur, 2025 Board Chair


Throughout the year, we worked alongside our members and partners to:

  • Champion policies that support a strong business climate

  • Expand resources and connections for small businesses and founders

  • Advance initiatives that grow and retain jobs across the region

  • Convene leaders to tackle Austin’s most pressing challenges

These efforts come at a pivotal time. Austin continues to evolve into one of the country’s leading economic hubs, with sustained innovation and growth across industries. But with that growth comes complexity—and the need for continued leadership and collaboration.


  • Looking Ahead to 2026

    "To help our local business community to thrive, the Chamber is committed to supporting employers, engaging with the community and working with policymakers at every level of government are essential to building a strong, resilient regional economy."

    - 2026 Board Chair, Denise Davis


As we look to the future, our commitment remains clear: to lead with purpose, advocate for our members, and ensure Austin remains a place where businesses—and people—can succeed.
