THE BUSINESS AGENDA THE BUSINESS AGENDA Business Leadership Globalization brings great opportunities and great challenges to the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) business community, calling forth a renewed need for united vision and action. The members of the Dallas Regional Chamber, the largest alliance of business leaders in the region for more than 100 years, understand the demands of this era. At the Chamber, business leaders have declared an agenda to create a prosperous region in this new and competitive global economy through public policy, economic development and member services.
Regionalism The business agenda begins with an understanding that in today’s world pros-
perity is created at a regional scale. The new economy is built upon the great economic regions of the world where businesses and their partners invent, produce, distribute and compete. Contrary to popular press, globalization has not flattened the world. Rather, as Richard Florida says, the world is spiky around great economic regions where the work of the global economy takes place. DFW is one of these spikes, the 14th largest metro economy in the world. The DFW economy boasts a gross product of $338 billion that is supported by a local workforce of 3 million and a population of more than 6 million residents. DFW is among the fastest growing metropolitan regions in the developed world, rivaled by few in this country or abroad. In 2008, the greater Dallas region added 146,500 net new residents and more than
46,000 jobs. This translates into daily gains of 400 residents and 126 jobs. Business leaders at the Chamber understand that the strengths and weaknesses of DFW are both regional issues and business issues. They affect the region’s ability to compete in a global economy and they directly affect the bottom line of the area’s businesses. Schools and quality of life, public infrastructure, business climate, workforce, trade and innovation, business recruitment and development—all of these issues, and more, are on the business agenda for the greater Dallas region.
Public Policy Public policy initiatives on the DFW business agenda build region-wide prosperity through high-quality economic growth and excellent quality of life. Key issues include education

THE BUSINESS AGENDA
and workforce, transportation infrastructure, water resources, air quality, health-care policies, business leadership and other business climate issues. Current efforts in the business community for each of these areas focus on information, engagement and advocacy, as briefly described below. Details about the various public policy initiatives at the Chamber as well as economic development activities and member services are included in the program section of this directory. Securing an educationed workforce tops the list of critical issues facing employers worldwide. Education and training—from early childhood through graduate school, continuing professional education to technical skill upgrades—are key ingredients for successful regions. Education and training resources give regions the tools to supply and maintain a labor force with the high-order skills so crucial to businesses in a competitive, knowledge-based global economy. At the most advanced levels, educational institutions become direct players in a region’s economy through research, innovation and commercialization of new technologies and processes. Diverse and respected education and training resources also are quality-of-life issues,

THE BUSINESS AGENDA
essential to a region’s ability to attract and retain the most in-demand workers and their families. DFW has been exceptionally successful in providing, attracting and retaining a top-tier workforce. Recognized as one of the fastest growing metros in the United States for many decades, DFW has a very young population and growing families, ensuring a large supply of labor growth internally even as the baby boomers begin to retire. In addition to this source of new growth, DFW draws about onehalf of its population gains from workers and their families relocating to the region from other parts of the United States and from around the world. In 2009, the region’s labor force surpassed 3.2 million. One-third of this workforce, some 1.1 million persons, hold college degrees or higher, giving DFW the most highly educated workforce in Texas. The occupational profile of DFW workers is one of the most diverse in the nation, ensuring that the region has a full complement of skills to meet the demands of a constantly changing economy. Eleven of the 21 major occupational categories claim 100,000 workers or more in this region, with office and administrative occupations topping the list at more than 500,000. Only four categories have fewer than 50,000 workers: law, arts and entertainment, community and social workers, physical and social scientists. DFW has extensive eduction and training resources to prepare new workers and upgrade the existing labor force’s skills. The region dominates two of the state’s education service regions that, when combined, hold 205 independent school districts with nearly 2,000 schools and 1.2 million kindergarten through 12th grade students. Another 66,000 DFW students attend 197 local, accredited private schools. Higher education in the DFW region is equally impressive. Properly viewed in today’s complex and multilayered regional systems, DFW has the largest college “campus” in Texas with 260,000 full- and part-time students enrolled in local institutions. Half of the college students enrolled locally attend one of the nine public community college districts that host more than 20 campuses in the region. The other 130,000 attend one of the 19 public and private baccalaureate and graduate level institutions. Area senior-level institutions feature two law schools, two full-service medical schools as well as a wide array of professional and doctoral programs in fields ranging from
17
THE BUSINESS AGENDA
the physical sciences to the performing arts. DFW also hosts numerous private technical schools and training resources that are not included in the enrollment counts cited earlier. Despite all of these resources and advantages, DFW faces many educational and workforce challenges. Labor supply needs posed by the sheer number of annual job openings in the DFW economy would overwhelm a lesser region. According to the Texas Workforce Commission, the North Central Texas planning region requires approximately 130,000 new workers per year. Half of the openings are created by net job gains. The remaining half of the job openings are replacements for workers leaving the labor force through retirement, relocation, disability and other reasons. Changing demographics at both ends of the workforce continuum are another particular challenge for the greater Dallas metro. On the one end, schools must educate first- and second-generation immigrants for highskill jobs as well as preparing them to take on continuing education, higher education and training. On the other end of the spectrum, employers must attract and accommodate job migrants with skills that allow them to locate anywhere in the world. Local employers also must retain very experienced and skillful baby boomers who are reaching traditional retirement ages. Other examples of local education and workforce challenges abound. Globally competitive regions must house local universities that produce top-tier research, including research that can be moved into commercial applications. Education leaders must understand the regional economy including its overarching strengths, weaknesses and future, as well as specific, employer needs. Businesses must stay current with the best and most competitive practices to attract and retain workers in their operations in DFW. The regional business alliance at the Chamber responds to these challenges in a comprehensive approach. Business leaders are directly involved in schools through mentoring and coaching programs at secondary institutions. They also engage in legislative advocacy for critical issues such as sound education funding at all levels or skilled worker access and recruitment. The business community collaborates in public/private workforce efforts to address current and future labor needs in crucial industry clusters such as health care, aerospace and logistics. They also engage in educational programs at the Chamber to
18

ensure that DFW businesses remain current in labor law and best practices in the workplace. The talent, workforce and education section of this directory provides details on these and other regional business initiatives in this area. Public infrastructure is essential to both economic efficiency and a high quality of life. Traditionally, this infrastructure includes highways and other roads, mass transit, aviation, railways, waterways, water supply and wastewater. Public infrastructure is a pressing issue throughout the United States. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that public infrastructure expenditures command more than 2 percent of the gross national product in the United States, about $312 billion in 2006. This figure equals the total product of the DFW economy. The Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, prepared by the American Society of Civil Engineers, states “With each passing day, aging and overburdened infrastructure threatens the economy and quality of life in every state, city and town in the nation.” Dallas is no exception. Growth creates the most urgent infrastructure needs for the DFW metro. According to the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), DFW will house 9.1 million residents and 5.4 million jobs by 2030. These projections average about 130,000 net new residents and 75,000 net new jobs added annually over the next 22 years. To meet the growth demands, the region must add 10 regional malls, 30 hospitals, nearly 500 schools and 1.1 million homes by 2030. Regional water and transportation systems will become especially strained with demands created by the projected commercial and residential growth.Congestion from over-burdened transportation networks always imposes costs in lost productivity, wear and tear on vehicles, roadways and transit facilities. Longer commute times also increase the mobile emissions that cause pollution and decrease the quality of life in a region. In DFW, congestion costs are magnified due to the critical contributions of the transportation and trade sectors of our regional economy. Dallas began with cattle trails and trade activities. Railroads, interstate highways, airports and even the digital highways that support global knowledge work have all been essential assets used to leverage the
greater Dallas region’s central location. The cattle trails are long gone, but, railroads, highways and airports, linked by modern-era multimodal hubs and digital networks, have aligned to create one of the great logistics centers in the global economy. Beginning in the 1990s, with the execution of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), international trade became deeply embedded in the local economy. Goods pass to and through the region from Mexico to Canada and all points in between on I-35, the “NAFTA Highway.” More recently, DFW has captured a new kind of international trade—high-value goods transported by air rather than by water or land. The value of airborne goods now accounts for one-half of all international trade with the United States and has increased 5.7 percent in the greater Dallas region in the last five years. Today, some $57 billion worth of goods are imported and exported through DFW airports, mostly from China and other Asian nations. The annual cost of congestion in DFW

THE BUSINESS AGENDA
tops $4 billion today. Given the growth forecasted for this region, this figure would climb to $11 billion by 2030 in the absence of any new transportation investments. The transportation plan for DFW, adopted by the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), calls for $71 billion of federal, state and local spending to meet many of the growing demands on our roadways and mass transit operations by 2030. These investments will add nearly 750 miles of HOV/managed lanes, tollways and traditional freeways plus 480 miles of passenger rail. They also will cover selected operations, maintenance, rehabilitation and other costs. Despite these massive investments, growth will outpace capacity in our transportation systems. The costs of congestion in DFW are projected to rise to $6.6 billion (in today’s dollars) by 2030. Business leaders recognize that efficient, effective transportation networks to, through and within DFW are essential to the health of this region’s economy, now and going for-

ward. Allied at the Chamber, business leaders address the transportation challenges in DFW through local, state and national partnerships for legislative advocacy. Simultaneously, the region’s business alliance operates beyond today’s challenges to seize new opportunities for the region. Most recently, Chamber leaders have been deeply involved in the creation and development of the Inland Port of Dallas (IPOD), that greatly enhances the logistics capacity of the region. Water supply is another vital infrastructure issue on the agenda for DFW. Always important in Texas, water issues gained momentum in the local business community with the severe drought of 2006 and the legislative struggle to approve appropriate long-range water planning for this region. DFW dominates the North Texas water planning region. Projections for 2030 show that demand for water in this region will grow by 60 percent, from 1.5 million acre-feet of water to 2.4 million acre-fee. By 2060, North

Texas water demand will grow to 3.3 million acre-feet. Failure to develop new water supplies to meet this demand will retard economic growth in North Texas by 17 percent, as measured by job gains. The Chamber’s regional business alliance worked with other business groups, water suppliers and elected officials throughout the state to ensure adoption of the region’s longrange water plan. Now the business agenda at the Chamber focuses on implementation of the plan that will provide the water needed in North Texas for the next 50 years. The water plan for DFW calls for a broad mix of strategies including conservation, reuse and improved use of currently available supplies, additional water management tactics and processes. It also allows for the possibility that new water resources may be necessary, such as the Marvin Nichols Reservoir, Lower Bois d’Arc Creek Reservoir, Lake Fastrill and Lake Ralph Hall.

growing metropolitan area. Today, nine of the top 10 U.S. metros are in non-attainment of one or more air quality standards. DFW is in moderate non-attainment of the eight-hour ozone standard in nine of its 12 counties. Main sources of emissions that cause ozone pollution are on-road mobile (cars, trucks, buses), non-road mobile (construction, aircraft, lawn and garden), point (cement and power plants), area (dry cleaners, bakeries, paint shops) and biogenic or natural (forest fires, vegetation). Mobile sources, both onroad and off, account for 70 percent of the emissions in DFW. The Chamber is a founding member of the North Texas Clean Air Coalition and the North Texas Clean Air Steering Committee. These two organizations provide business leadership in the development of the region’s clean air plan as well as education programs for the region’s business
community on clean air issues and initiatives. Legislative advocacy is another key part of the business agenda for clean air, especially for policies that reduce mobile emissions and provide research into other sources of pollution in the greater Dallas region. Please see the Public Policy and Advocacy program pages in this directory for more information on infra-structure and environmental activities at the Chamber. Other business climate issues on the business agenda for Dallas are wide-ranging. Health-care opportunities and challenges are of particular interest to the region’s business community. DFW hosts a strong health services sector that offers many opportunities for growth and development. At the same time, local businesses face particular burdens from rising health-care costs. In Texas, one in every four residents lack health insurance.
Former Dallas Regional Chairman (2003) Mayor Tom Leppert and 2009 Chairman, Robert W. Best

THE BUSINESS AGENDA
The Chamber business leaders work with their allies to tackle these important issues within the health services sector. Education, coordination and advocacy are proving very effective on all fronts in health care. Leadership development is another focus of the region’s business alliance. Chamber efforts promote an aware, engaged and connected corps of business executives and professionals to guide the DFW community to prosperity and excellence in an emerging, uncharted global economy. Current programs engage leaders from all sectors and across the generations, building connections and continuity in the business community of DFW.
Economic Development The region’s business alliance at the Dallas Regional Chamber has built award-winning economic development programs for DFW. Economic development activities range from corporate relocation and expansion efforts, regional marketing programs and international business development to building the next generation technology sector in DFW. These activities go hand-in-hand with public policy work on the business agenda to build prosperity through high-quality economic growth and a high quality of life. Marketing efforts on behalf of the greater Dallas region are extensive. The DFW Marketing Team is comprised of more than 40 communities and economic development agencies that market the region to site selectors and corporate real estate executives. Internationally, the Chamber hosts virtual offices in London, Shanghai, Mexico City and Monterrey. Comprehensive and easily accessed business location resources online allow companies to see the many advantages of DFW. The information is presented for the region as a whole, for counties and cities, as well as for any site within the greater Dallas metro. The NASDAQ/Dallas Regional Chamber Index highlights the depth and diversity of this sector in DFW by tracking the performance of publicly held tech companies headquartered here. DTEC, as this Index is called, updates every 7 seconds online. Corporate recruitment is a highly competitive business. Regions must be “search friendly” to make the short list in top corporate relocation efforts. Site selectors and corporate executives need easy access to the information and contacts required to evaluate the assets and qualities of potential new locations. In a complex metro like DFW, this is no simple matter. DFW is roughly the size of Vermont

with 10 times the population living in nearly 200 cities spread across a 12-county region. The business leaders at the Chamber understand the needs of top decision makers. In coordination with regional marketing efforts and more than 70 allied communities in DFW, the Chamber’s economic development team serves as the “honest broker” for corporate relocations and expansions, offering companies in search a single point of contact for this region. It is an effective model. DFW has led job creation among U.S. metros for most of 2007 and 2008. The region has 25 companies on the Fortune 500 list in 2009, the fourth highest count in the nation. DFW has ranked among the top four metros in corporate relocation and expansion activity for the last four years, according to Site Selection magazine. Further, the Dallas Regional Chamber, working with more than 70 actively allied communities, garnered top honors for economic development operations over the last four years, most recently ranking first among all metro economic development organizations. Corporate relocation efforts are on track for 2009, adding more than 731 direct and 2,244 total new jobs to the region. The combined impact of these jobs will top $115 million for the local economy.

THE BUSINESS AGENDA
The benefits of international trade to the DFW economy through NAFTA and the shift towards air cargo were discussed previously. These influences are ongoing and escalating, bringing significant new economic development to the region. The business agenda for DFW seeks to expand these opportunities as well as other avenues of international business development. Chamber initiatives engage regional business executives and public officials in foreign trade missions to strategic locations around the world. They target countries for new or expanded trade relationships with local businesses as well as foreign companies for potential investments into DFW. Regional businesses can learn about trade and other business opportunities, as well as build skills and networks at Chamber programs. Chamber leaders also engage in legislative advocacy to promote the free exchange of goods and services, capital and labor in a global economy. More details about international trade development are available in the program section of this directory.

However, quantity is not the singular goal of the Chamber’s corporate recruitment work. The business agenda calls for job gains that promote high-quality growth in the region. One measure of high-quality jobs is wages paid. Current recruitment efforts target jobs with averaging $19 per hour or more. By fourth quarter 2009, recruitment efforts were adding jobs that averaged $32 per hour. Corporate recruitment work at the Chamber also targets specific activities that are especially well suited to building prosperity and quality of life in Dallas. These targets include headquarter operations, logistics, high-end data centers, semiconductor and medical-device manufacturing, data processing and information technology, and financial services. More details of the Chamber’s corporate relocation and expansion efforts are available in the program section of this directory under Economic Development. The Technology Business Council (TBC) was established the at the Chamber to ensure the continued success of this leading sector of the economy. The greater Dallas region has a long history of excellence in high technology dating back to the creation of the integrated circuit at Texas Instruments by Jack Kilby in 1958. Today, Texas is the second-ranked cyberstate in the United States. This ranking is largely due to the robust technology sector established in DFW. DFW claims 226,000 technology workers, 40 percent of the state’s technology workforce, in 14 industries. DFW is well positioned to capture new opportunities in the technology sector. Some of the more promising possibilities locally are nanotechnologies for advanced materials in aerospace, radio frequency identification devices (RFID) for logistics operations, information technologies applied to the health-services industry, medical devices and pharmaceuticals that will serve the aging baby boomers. The TBC works to build the regional infrastructure needed to capture these opportunities in a highly competitive global economy. Details of the Council’s activities are highlighted in the program section of the directory. International business is the engine behind globalization. These business activities stretch well beyond traditional imports and exports of manufactured goods. DFW businesses also engage in international activities associated with U.S. or global headquarters of multinational corporations, the great continental alliance formed by NAFTA, and foreign direct investments.

(North Central Texas Council of Governments) • Dallas is a junction point on hundreds of rail through-routes. While most of the nation’s railroads are regional in nature, the establishment of joint rates and routes by the carriers provides the continued movement of freight when more than one carrier is required to transport a shipment. Because of these agreements, the Dallas shipper is assured of delivery to any point in the United States

As the Independent System Operator for its region, ERCOT manages the scheduling of power on an electric grid consisting of 70,000 megawatts of active generation capacity and 38,000 miles of transmission lines. (ERCOT) • At the end of 2008, ERCOT had more than 8,000 megawatts of installed wind generation, significantly ahead of the rest of the country, including Iowa, 2,790 megawatts, and California, 2,517 megawatts.

PUBLIC POLICY Government Relations Introduction/Description The Dallas Regional Chamber’s Government Relations Department helps shape public policy to foster a fertile business climate in North Texas and to enhance North Texans’ quality of life. With the involvement of business leaders from across the region, the department develops policy goals related to environment and energy, long-term water supply and transportation. The department actively organizes programs with public policy makers to share our views and to provide access for our members.
Environment In 2009 the Environment Council was chaired by Ken Menges, partner in charge of Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. This council directs the Chamber’s environmental initiatives to influence policy at all levels of government and to ensure the region is conducive to both public health and economic development. There is still debate on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lowering of the federal standard for ground-level ozone from 0.08 parts per million (ppm) to 0.075 ppm. Ground-level ozone is not emitted directly into the air, but is formed by a chemical reaction of emissions from vehicles, diesel equipment, industrial plants and other sources. Currently, North Texas is classified as a serious ozone non-attainment area.
State Representative Dan Branch and Dallas Regional Chamber Board Member Mike Baggett discuss transportation policy.
During the 81st Session of the Texas Legislature in 2009, the Chamber supported the extension of the Texas Emissions Reduction Program (TERP) and Low-Income Vehicle Repair Assistance, Retrofit and Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Program (LIRAP). The State Budget includes $280 million for TERP and $100 million for LIRAP. Legislation was passed which will extend the TERP program and fees from 2015 to 2019. TERP and LIRAP provide voluntary incentives for businesses and individuals to operate cleaner equipment and vehicles and, therefore, improve our air quality. More than 70 percent of harmful emissions in North Texas are generated by mobile sources, these programs are important components of the Clean Air Plan Through programs like TERP, the air quality in our region is improving. However, North Texas must continue to seek new opportunities to reduce emissions in order to meet the tighter standards. Recently, the EPA announced that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases threaten the public health and welfare of the American people. This finding triggered a requirement that fossil fuel emissions be regulated under the clean air act. The Environment Council will continue to develop policy positions that balance the Chamber’s goals of meeting public health needs and maintaining a healthy business environment.

In 2009, the Long Term Water Supply Council was chaired by Robert Estrada, chairman of Estrada Hinojosa & Co., Inc. The council develops the Chamber’s policy positions to ensure our region has adequate, consistent and affordable water supplies. The Chamber continues its support for the major water legislation approved during the 80th Session of the Texas Legislature in 2007.
Senate Bill 3 includes language that designates the unique reservoir sites included in the Texas Water Development Board’s 2007 Water Plan. The designation of these sites helps preserve them as potential reservoir sites in the future. The major reservoir sites include Marvin Nichols, Lake Fastrill, Ralph Hall and the lower Bois d’Arc which are important components of the Region C (North Texas) water plan. In response to the projected water supply shortfall, Region C has increased their commitment to conservation and reuse. Conservation and reuse strategies in the Region C water plan will reduce average per capita municipal water use in our region by 29 percent over the next 20 years. By 2060 conservation and reuse will account for more than 1 million acre-feet per year. To quantify this, Lake Lavon provides 100,000 acre-feet per year, meaning that conservation and reuse will provide water equal to 10 Lake Lavons by 2060. However, conservation and reuse alone cannot meet future water needs, 18 percent of projected water supply will come from new reservoirs. The 2011 update to the Region C water plan is currently underway. Under the existing water plan Region C’s 2060 water demand would be met as follows: • Approximately one-third would come from currently available, connected supplies (both surface water and groundwater). • Slightly more than one-quarter would come from new water conservation and water reuse projects. • Slightly less than one-quarter would come from the connection of existing water sources. • Slightly less than one-fifth would come from new reservoirs. • Additional supply would be accounted for through the development of regional systems, system operation of reservoirs and use of groundwater.
PUBLIC POLICY
On the federal level, the Chamber supports reauthorization of the Water Resource Development Act (WRDA), a comprehensive water resource law typically authorized every two years. Specifically, WRDA authorizes studies and projects within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission areas including navigation, flood damage reduction, hurricane and storm damage reduction, shoreline protection and environmental restoration. The Dallas Regional Chamber along with the Long Term Water Supply Council will continue to play an active role in helping our region’s water providers meet growing demand. We will continue to work together to protect the gains made in the passage of Senate Bill 3.
In the 81st legislative session the legislature took steps to reduce diversions from the State Highway Fund by $365 million. Legislation was introduced to index the motor fuels tax, but it did not advance through the legislative process. The Rail Relocation and Improvement Fund will receive $182 million over the next two years. Enabling legislation to implement Proposition 12 (a constitutional amendment approved by the voters in 2007 to issue $5 billion in general obligation bonds to fund transportation) was successful in the July special session of the 81st Texas Legislature. In the 111th Congress of the United
States, the Chamber supported House bill 3357, a temporary solution to restore funding to the Highway Trust Fund. The Chamber also supports the reauthorization of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The Chamber recognizes the value of a robust transportation system. Transportation investment plays a large role in determining our future economic success and sustaining a great quality of life in Texas. The Chamber will continue to advocate on behalf of improved mobility in our region to all levels of government.
transportation The Chamber’s Transportation Council is chaired by Mike Baggett, chairman emeritus of Winstead. The Transportation Council develops the Chamber’s policy positions related to the enhancement of our region’s transportation network.

The Healthcare Hot Topics breakfast series offers a unique opportunity for business professionals to become better informed about these key healthcare issues affecting North Texas today by hearing from experts in the field.
LIVE HEALTHY NORTH TEXAS Amidst a thriving business community, North Texas must face the issue of rising healthcare costs and businesses must have the opportunity to take an active role in fighting costs. Although there are a variety of wellness providers and resources in the DFW area, there are few viable options for the mid- and small-sized employer. The Dallas Regional Chamber, com-
prised of more than 80 percent small businesses, is committed to ensuring the business community remains competitive. The Chamber partners with Live Healthy America to create Live Healthy North Texas a low-cost, turn-key and results-driven solution for business to encourage healthy living in the community.

Friends, families and co-workers form teams to compete by tracking their collective team weight-loss percentage and/or minutes of physical activity on a weekly basis. The ability for employers to partner with their employees, other community leaders and community residents creates a unique opportunity to promote healthy eating behaviors, physical fitness, risk prevention and wellness in a particular community.
HEALTHCARE ADVISORY COUNCIL The Healthcare Advisory Council is committed to ensuring the region remains competitive by providing forums and educational opportunities related to current healthcare issues. These include serving as a liaison between business, healthcare, and government to address and anticipate healthcare challenges and examining, influencing, and creating public awareness of policies affecting the healthcare industry.
