From the Chairman

An Open Letter from Jim Kendrick ear Chamber Member,
As your chairman I’m very proud to say that YOUR Chamber is moving in the RIGHT direction! The Longview Chamber of Commerce members and staff can take Jim Kendrick Board Chairman great pride in the strides made to fulfill its mission to be “the voice for business” in the Longview community. On September 30th the board hosted their annual board retreat where we look at where we’ve been and build on our successes to move our organization forward. A few of the 2010 hallmarks include the launch of Chamber Choice-a small business health care plan with UnitedHealthcare, changing the name of the organization back to the Longview Chamber of Commerce, and bringing closure to the Market Street Strategies report.
As you may remember, in 2009 our organization partnered with LEDCO to hire Market Street Strategies to take a holistic review of our organizations. In light of the challenging economic times, our board felt it was necessary to review our organization to ensure we were staying abreast of best practices within the Chamber and Economic Development industry in order to move our community forward. Outcomes from this study included: • provide stronger entrepreneurial based programming (to date we have hosted 14
business development programs with 607 participants), • clarify who we are … the board voted to change the name back to the Longview Chamber of Commerce after 78% of our members requested the name change during a recent survey, and • work more closely with LEDCO to bring jobs to Longview. Recently, LEDCO staff and two (2) of their board members participated in the Chamber’s board retreat in order to build a stronger collaborative effort.
Without question, 2010 has been an eventful year. The future belongs to the courageous and your Chamber board and staff will continue to take great strides towards becoming an even better organization and resource for the community. Looking ahead, the Chamber will need to continue to work on advocating on behalf of our members while building relevant and impactful programs and services to help our members grow and prosper!
The future looks bright for Longview and I am proud to be part of an organization that strives to strengthen the local economy so that our city is a great place to live, work and play. It is truly an honor to serve as your 2010 Chairman. I thank you for that opportunity!

10 Reasons Why Members Renew by ensuring our success they ensure their own. Members want to be part of the “big picture” and invest in resources for long term sustainability. • Visibility—Members know that in this marketplace, it’s important to have consistent visibility. Visibility promotes their brands, let’s people know they’re still around, and keeps them “top of mind” with those they want to influence. In a world where people are bombarded with marketing, opinions and junk mail, it’s easy to be forgotten or passed by. Members have hundreds of opportunities to be visible and be seen by a fast-paced, instant gratification environment. • Representation—Members acknowledge that their voices can’t always be heard above all the noise in decisionmaking circles and media venues. Partly it’s due to small businesses being perceived as “small fish” or a fraction of constituents by decision makers, but it’s also due to a lack of understanding how these systems work, accessibility to specific decision makers, lack of credibility or perceived power, or just because most members are busy running their own operations. We have the contacts, skills, and clout to represent members’ concerns that allows them to focus on their strengths and achieve their goals. We’re there so our members don’t need to be. • Just-in-Time-Solutions—Members count on us and our community for educational opportunities, problem-solving and access to best practices. Since most of our members are small, they appreciate that “we have people” who can offer wisdom, know-how, and help us over the constant hurdles of running a profitable small business. • Cost-and-Time-Effective Benefits—Members are always trying to find ways to save money and time on operational needs. Whether it’s savings for buying office supplies, insurance or shipping, they know they can save money and time by accessing these benefits through our affinity programs. • Leads Generation—Members expect that we’ll refer others to them and help promote their businesses. Although we can’t guarantee leads or higher conversion rates, we do provide countless opportunities for members to generate leads. From directory listings, sponsorships, leads groups, and networking and volunteer opportunities, we provide face-to-face and virtual interactions with hundreds or even thousands of people every year. If prospects and customers are like cars, we give members access to the busiest highways and parking lots in the area! All of these reasons for renewal help to create loyal members and build a sustainable Chamber of Commerce for OUR community. We provide members with opportunities to share why they joined and renewed, and allow them to communicate using their own language. Sometimes they say it so much better than we ever could. www.longviewtx.com The Longview Progress Report 5
es, it’s easy for me to think, “We have so much to offer—why wouldn’t a member renew?” I do think we’re great and that our members value and appreciate all we have to offer. After all, we advocate countless hours on YOUR behalf while you’re running your businesses and we work endlessly to provide a zillion programs every month, right? When we consider everything we do, our members are just paying a fraction of what it really costs for us to accomplish so much! Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, membership value is not determined by me or my staff but by Kelly Hall YOU … our members. After years of LP President designing member feedback tools like surveys, focus groups and interviews I can categorize renewal reasons into 10 ‘buckets.’ Members renew their investment in our organization for: • Civic Responsibility—Yes, just like chivalry still exists, there are still entities who support the “fair share” concept and feel it’s their civic duty to be a member. Whether they attend events or take advantage of what we offer, they continue to be “good civic citizens” and renew each year. Wish we had more of them! • Sense of Community—We do develop a rich and supportive community and these members enjoy and reap the benefits of being part of this community. There is a sense of inclusion that offers collaboration, support, and likeminded values and members feel a strong bond to other members. • Affiliation and Credibility—Members see us as the sphere of influence and feel that by being affiliated with us it gives them a strategic partnership and the “Good Housekeeping seal of approval.” They want to leverage their membership to promote their brand, be included on invitations and opportunities, and to increase their image in the community. • Bridges and Connections—Members aren’t really seeking ‘networking’ as much as they want to gain access to those who can help them achieve their goals. They benefit from the “6 degrees of separation” and can be connected with mentors, vendors, prospective customers, and key stakeholders they might not otherwise meet or interact with in their own circles. We are the “LinkedIn” both virtually and in-person and help members build “social capital” in the area. • Common Vision—Members love leaders who have a great vision, purpose and significant goals. They believe in our strategic direction and initiatives, and want to do whatever they can to ensure that we are successful. It’s not for altruistic reasons to be members since they believe that

Façade Grant Program Helps Improve Downtown
hree downtown buildings benefited from the One Hundred Acres of Heritage Main Street Façade Grant Program this year. Façade grants are funded by the City of Longview from CDBG funds through Longview’s Main Street Program. The 2009-2010 funding cycle was 45,000. Application for funding is made through the Main Street Office. Longview Main Street is a part of the Longview Chamber of Commerce. 205-207 N. Center Street is the home of George Preston Antiques and TCC PHOTO | GALLERY. The building required repair of the awning and refurbishing and painting of the existing brick façade. This project received a grant of $4800 paid as reimbursement after the project was complete.
In fact, LMFA is housed in what was once two buildings, JC Penney and another home furnishings store. When the buildings were combined the façade was significantly modified to look like one building and then covered with wood above the windows. The projected required removing the old wood slats which had not protected the building from the outside elements. The building was sealed and new attractive awnings were installed in place of the old wooden slats. At night the awnings can be lighted with a wide assortment of colors. This project received two grants – one for each building – of $10,000 and $15,000 paid as reimbursement after the project was complete.
208 N. Fredonia Street is where Media Quest has their video and website production company. The building required removal of old mortar and the application of a new stucco surface and paintings. New door and windows were also installed. Final touch was a new black awning. With the completion of 208 N. Fredonia that half block has had three buildings benefit from the façade grant program. This project received a grant of $10,000 paid as reimbursement after the project was complete.
At 215 E. Tyler Street is the Longview Museum of Fine Arts. Prior to the museum acquiring this property the building was the home of a furniture store for many years. 8 November/ December
