The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce announces the launch of its highly anticipated Executive Connections:San Antonio. This innovative program is designed to help senior leaders become acclimated to our thriving community, while simultaneously forging connections with key leaders shaping the region's future.

 

The Greater Chamber’s Executive Connections:San Antonio (EC:SA) Program creates experiences to help newly relocated or recently promoted senior-level executives transition more effectively into their leadership roles and the local community. The program provides a swift understanding and broad orientation into our unique community and equips you with important connections and relationships needed to be successful.

 

An immersion into the region's critical issues, the Executive Connections:San Antonio Program introduces participants to top business and community leaders actively addressing these challenges. The carefully-curated program encompasses business-focused topics, including the region's economic vitality, growing industries, and future opportunities. And it covers key civic issues, including infrastructure support, transportation, utilities, military affairs, and quality of life topics such as affordable housing, education, workforce development, and healthcare.

 

Executive Connections:San Antonio is built around the idea of high-impact, peer-to-peer engagement and aims to help drive your business and our community forward in a meaningful and impactful way.

 

“The Executive Connections:San Antonio is the perfect opportunity for the Chamber to support San Antonio's economic development efforts. By providing a way for new business leaders to become actively engaged members of our community, we can provide them with an important support network to remain successful and to grow," says John Montford, 2025 EC:SA Chairman. "We look forward to the EC:SA being a trusted vital resource for business leaders in our region to drive connectedness across industries and to be an example for those looking to move their business of the great promises of San Antonio."
