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.
