Earls named to state chamber role

Odessa Chamber of Commerce CEO Renee Earls will serve in 2023 as the vice chair-Professional Development for the Texas Chamber of Commerce Executives Board for the 2023 fiscal year, a press release detailed.

TCCE is the longest standing association of chamber of commerce professionals in the nation, working to provide guidance to local and regional chambers through professional education, resources, and networking opportunities.

“TCCE is committed to providing excellence in professional education, networking, resource and idea exchange among the Chamber industry,” Jim Johnson, TCCE Board Chair, stated in a press release. “Renee will elevate the organizations trainings in 2023 and TCCE is excited to be in Odessa for our Annual Conference in June of this year.”

Earls is currently serving a three-year term for the Board of Directors and will represent TCCE’s 230 Chambers from every part of Texas.

“I am honored to serve in this capacity. I know how important continued education is both professionally and personally. I am pleased to be able to provide assistance to my Chamber colleagues across the state in learning more about our industry, that then allows us to improve our own Chambers and communities,” Earls, President/CEO of the Odessa Chamber of Commerce, stated in the press release. “Lastly, our own Odessa Chamber staff and volunteers are excited about welcoming more than 250 colleagues around the state to Odessa in June 2023 as this will give us an opportunity to show off the amazing community in which we live and work,” she added.

Chambers of Commerce provide a critical link in the communities they serve, working diligently to ensure a sustainable and vibrant business environment for companies to locate, grow and thrive.

These committed organizations coordinate and capitalize on the strengths of their respective communities to develop ways to enhance the quality of life and create a place where citizens can live productively, contribute positively and collectively become stronger. These efforts lead to stronger people and better communities.

TCCE provides excellence in professional education, connectivity, resource development and idea exchange opportunities to ensure they are empowered to serve their chambers and communities.
