Tim
Keleher column
 Behind
the scenes, beyond the headlines, and not withstanding
highly publicized personal and partisan differences,
the members and staff of the 78th legislature
maintained their focus and achieved significant
results on the critical issues impacting Fort
Worth. The Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce actively
encouraged the Texas legislature to commit the
resources of the state to assist our community
as we address the fundamental needs of attracting
new jobs, expanding our transportation network,
improving air quality and assuring the best possible
education for our citizens.
Lawmakers responded by:
- Streamlining the state's economic development
agency and creating a new "Enterprise Fund"
to attract new jobs and investment.
- Dedicating funding for the Texas Mobility
Fund, a more efficient method of collecting
gasoline taxes and additional bonding options
for the Texas Department of Transportation that
will allow the state to invest up to $3 billion
for improved roadway and railway infrastructure.
- Approving full funding for the Texas Emissions
Reduction Plan, providing incentives for owners
of diesel powered vehicles to reduce air polluting
emissions and paving the way for federal approval
of our region's air quality improvement plan.
- Creating new policies to improve public education,
provide better access to higher education opportunities
and enhance job skills training programs.
We also urged the legislature to enact policies
that would reduce the runaway costs of health
care and civil lawsuits. Again, legislators
responded favorably by allowing businesses to
form cooperatives to purchase health benefit
plans and by eliminating the requirement that
all benefit plans include coverage for government-mandated
medical treatments and services. Lawmakers also
approved major civil justice reforms limiting
damage awards and frivolous lawsuits.
The challenge facing legislators was not only
to balance the state budget - a formidable task
- but more importantly to balance the needs
and wants of competing interests against a backdrop
of declining state revenues. In the end, compromise
driven by an austere state budget meant most
funding requests were reduced and proposed policy
changes were scaled back.
Some major issues remain unresolved. Governor
Perry has called legislators back to the capitol
this month to address the politically charged
issue of redrawing the boundaries of U.S. congressional
districts in Texas. Also, overhauling the state's
complex system for funding public schools and
revising the state's tax laws may be the focus
of another special legislative session in coming
months. The Fort Worth Chamber will continue
to be directly involved, working with our state
senators and representatives to achieve results
that are favorable to Fort Worth and Fort Worth
businesses.

Fort Worth...
Fort Worth Updates its Museums
Fort Worth is unusual among small American cities
for its high incidence of seriously ambitious
art museums. There are three to exact - a lot
for a town of 535,000 people. For more than 30
years they have shared a swath of meticulously
maintained greensward along Camp Bowie Boulevard,
not far from the Will Rogers Memorial Center near
the center of town.
One has tended to outshine the others: the Kimbell
Art Museum, blessed with an acclaimed building
designed by Louis Kahn, opened in 1972 with a
small, choice collection of ancient and Asian
art and European painting. In the Kimbells's shadow
are the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum, the state's
first art museum (founded in 1892 and committed
to living artists almost since then), and the
Amon Carter Museum, founded in 1961 to house a
collection of Western art, including a cache of
works by Frederick Remington. Both institutions
have been perennially hamstrung by cramped buildings
that no amount of fiddling or expanding seemed
to improve.
Now the balance has shifted. In October 2001,
the Amon Carter, having torn down two awkward
additions and called back the original architect,
Philip Johnson, unveiled a handsome new wing that
triples its gallery space while dovetailing nicely
with the original building. And in December 2002,
the Fort Worth Modern pulled up stakes altogether
for a striking new building, designed by Japanese
architect Tadao Ando, that is right next to the
Kimbell...
There are not many places where you can contemplate
new museum architecture without getting depressed,
view extraordinary groupings of European and American
paintings and have an epiphany in feminist history
all in the same day, while stumbling across a
calf-cutting contest and never once have to resort
to vehicular transportation. All these high points
were within comfortable walking distance of one
another.
The New York Times - May 2003
Small
Business Awards
Revamped Small Business Awards Nominations
Sought
Now is the time to submit nominations for the
Fort Worth Chamber's fifth annual Small Business
of the Year Awards. The nomination process has
been changed for this year - anyone may nominate
a small business for the award. This year, the
awards will again be broken out by number of employees
rather than annual revenue. Award categories are
1-10 employees, 11-50 employees, 51-100 employees
and 101-250 employees. Also this year, a new category
- emerging business (in business less than three
years) - has been added. Nomination deadline is
Aug. 29.
In order to have the event coincide with Small
Business Week, the awards ceremony has been moved
to May 6, 2004. "The Small Business of the
Year Awards recognize and honor businesses that
have demonstrated 'best practices' of entrepreneurship
such as sound business planning, fiscal responsibility
and work process innovation in day-to-day operations,"
said Reed Pigman, chairman of the Chamber's Small
Business Council Committee adding that participation
in the application process holds many benefits
for small companies.
Nominees will be recognized in future issues
of the Chamberletter as well as listed on the
Chamber's website. Nominees who proceed with the
application process will have an opportunity to
have a Tradefest booth on a special Small Business
of the Year Aisle in November. That booth will
be provided at cost. Finalists receive four complimentary
reservations to the awards luncheon, recognition
in the program along with a company profile and
mention on the Chamber website as a finalist.
They will also be honored at a special Business
After Hours and provided with display space to
promote their businesses and invited to participate
in a panel discussion at a Small Business Council
luncheon in March 2004.
In addition to an award to display, winners
will receive a display banner, feature articles
in the Fort Worth Business Press and the Chamberletter.
They will also be listed as winners on the Chamber's
website and in the Chamber's Annual Meeting program
as a winner.
Any for-profit business headquartered in Tarrant
County falling within the stated employee parameters
is eligible. The applicant must be the owner,
partner or major shareholder of the business and
active in its day-to-day operations. The business
must be financially stable and operational for
a minimum of three years (with the exception of
the Emerging Business which is less than three
years). Companies who provide a current member
to the Fort Worth Chamber board of directors will
not be eligible for consideration. Companies must
be a member of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce
at the time an award is presented.
"Just completing the application is a beneficial
exercise in reviewing the strengths of your business,"
said Pigman. "The process can help business
owners identify marketable assets within their
organizations they might not have considered previously."
According to Lydia Hall-Benson, director of
business services for the Chamber, participation
in the awards program is a positive experience
not only for the business owner, but also for
the employees as well. Nominees opting to go forward
with the application process must return the completed
application form to the Chamber by Oct. 17.
Judging elements will include business growth
and performance; sound business strategies and
practices; business challenges; unique and innovative
approaches and community involvement and contribution.
For more information on the awards, how to nominate
a business or any other questions, go to www.fortworthchamber.com
after July 15 or contact Lydia Hall-Benson at
817/336-2491, ext. 272.

Action
Ambassadors
Ambassador Program Looking for a Few
Good Members
One of the first things that happens when someone
joins the Fort Worth Chamber is they receive a
visit from one of the Chamber's Action Ambassadors.
The Ambassador drops in to deliver not only the
member goodie bag, but also to tell the new member
first hand about all the services and programs
the Chamber has to offer.
Ambassadors help make sure that new members
not only know about all the programs and services
the Chamber offers, but they also do their best
to ensure that new members take advantage of them.
Action Ambassadors go one-on-one inviting new
members to Business After Hours, Area Council
meetings and other Chamber events.
"The Action Ambassadors are a powerful
retention tool for the Chamber," said Bill
Thornton, president and CEO of the Fort Worth
Chamber. "What better way is there for new
members to learn about all the Chamber can do
for them than from another member?"
Action Ambassadors have the opportunity to attend
monthly meetings featuring speakers on topics
of current interest. They also get the opportunity
to meet and network with literally hundreds of
Chamber members in the course of a year by attending
ribbon cuttings, Business After Hours and many
of the other Chamber programs offered throughout
the year.
For more information on the Action Ambassadors
program, contact Teresa Pearson at 817/336-2491,
ext. 249.
