Fort Worth Chamber's 2013 Annual Report 2013 | Page 2

President’s
message
Natural resources supply people with essentials:
water, food, fuel and more. The world of business
needs resources as well to meet vital needs.
That’s a long list: capital, opportunity, customers,
talented employees, communication, networks,
advocates and much more.

That’s where the Fort Worth Chamber of
Commerce comes into play.
We at the Chamber are committed to help every
member, investor and community partner find
and connect with the resources they need to
flourish in today’s highly competitive markets.
This report for Fiscal Year 2013-14 sketches just
a few of the many ways we go about that.
We’re pleased to invite you into these pages.
You’ll find a sampling of how the Chamber
serves its members on their journey to prosperity,
knowing all the while that they have a natural
resource for their needs – the Fort Worth
Chamber of Commerce.

Sincerely,
Bill Thornton

President and CEO
