The Greater San Antonio Chamber announces the launch of the second cohort of its highly anticipated Executive Connections: San Antonio program, which will be chaired by Katie Harvey, CEO of K Harvey Brand Partners and a past chamber Board Chair and current Board Member.
Executive Connections: San Antonio is designed to create experiences to help newly relocated or recently promoted senior-level executives transition more effectively into their leadership roles and the local community. Participants gain a swift understanding and broad orientation into the community and the business 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 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 represents a unique opportunity to become more engaged in the community, while simultaneously forging connections with key leaders shaping the region's future. The initiative is built around the idea of high-impact, peer-to-peer engagement and aims to help drive participants’ businesses and the community forward in a meaningful and impactful way.
“San Antonio's continued success depends on engaged leaders who understand not only their organizations, but also the broader community in which they serve. Executive Connections: San Antonio accelerates that understanding by connecting executives to the people, places, and issues shaping our region,” said Greater San Antonio Chamber President and CEO Jeff Webster. “We are proud to welcome Cohort II and look forward to seeing these accomplished leaders become active champions for San Antonio's future.”
"It is an honor to serve as Chairwoman for the second cohort of Executive Connections: San Antonio,” said Harvey. “This program provides an extraordinary opportunity for Cohort II to quickly immerse themselves in the unique opportunities, challenges, and relationships that define our community. I look forward to helping participants build meaningful connections, gain valuable insights, and continue their immense contributions to San Antonio’s growth and prosperity."
Participation in Executive Connections: San Antonio is comprised of Greater Chamber members in good standing. The ideal participant should be new to their role or the Alamo region, having taken on their position within the past year.
