From Kristopher McLane

A MESSAGE from the president/ceo

On July 7, 2022, Bay County and the PCB Chamber recently lost an incredible leader— Mr. Paul Schreiner, Managing Partner of Texas Roadhouse and Incoming Chairman for our Chamber. Paul was a selfless person that was dedicated to serving his community and a loving husband to his wife, Helen Schreiner. He was a dear friend and a true humanitarian in his support of non-profits, healthcare workers, local veterans, first responders, and our Chamber. He is greatly missed and will always be remembered. Please continue to keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

With the Primary Election concluded, I would like to congratulate Griff Griffitts for winning State Representative for District 6 and Jay Trumbull for winning the State Senate for District 2. I would also like to congratulate Ann Leonard for winning the Bay County School Board Member District 2 seat. We are in good hands with your leadership and we look forward to working with you all in the future to help improve our community.
