How to Join
Membership has its benefits! Our investors interact with local business leaders through our monthly Senior Executive Breakfasts, our semi- annual Economic Trends panel events, and our annual Investor's Meeting and Luncheon.
Each investor also receives our monthly Economic Trends reports, a valuable assessment of the current status of our local economy, and have access to our staff and software for demographic research and projections.
Participation in our organization as an investor also means that you are supporting our efforts to bring jobs and investment to our community, ensuring the continued viability and stability of our local economy and making the Coastal Bend region a great place to live and work for generations to come.
Thank you for considering joining our organization!
Sarah Tindall, our Chief Operating Officer, is always ready and willing to meet with you to discuss membership options. Email her at saraht@ccredc.com or call 361-882-7448 to speak with her directly.
Our job is to make your job easier. We focus on giving our investors the tools you need to best understand the local market in order to make the most informed decisions to keep your company competitive. As a direct point of contact for you, the CCREDC is able to:
- Serve as a referral to other investors. The Vice President of Investor Relations meets with investors to understand their unique business needs and development plans. Using this knowledge, our staff is able to recommend other CCREDC investors who may facilitate introductions.
- Connect businesses with resources. We make resources available such as state and local government offices, local non-profit organizations, and vendors. We understand that investors have limited time to explore and vet potential resources that could provide assistance with business growth, and it's our job to know what groups are available in the region in order to refer and connect investors to these groups.
- Distribute Economic Trends/ Regional Profile materials. This is a useful and important tool for business decision-makers as they strive to become more competitive, which is a large part of our mission to support local economic development. This profile aims to support both of these efforts by serving as a single source for the information that a business owner need in order to start, grow, and succeed.
- Link investors to CCREDC staff for specialized services. Our staff can be useful to investors in a variety of areas including economic and business research, business retention and expansion, analysis of economic data and policy research.
