The Three Pillars of our Strategic Plan are Communication, Member Development and Advocacy
COMMUNICATION
Communicate what we do and why we do it.
Coordinate our communication efforts to illustrate why the Chamber is doing what it’s doing and why it is important to members and potential members. Communicating our purpose and strategic focus to businesses, community members, and elected officials fosters the engagement necessary to collectively better our community.
MEMBER DEVELOPMENT
Focus on needs of Members & Potential Members
We identify needs and develop programs, services, and initiatives that are designed to support local businesses and promote economic growth and prosperity in the region. We will prioritize our available resources to support the needs of our current members as well as communicate those benefits to potential members.
Nurture and Develop New Leaders
Developing and creating an environment for new leaders to grow and contribute to the future of Waxahachie and Ellis County is critically important for tomorrow. The Chamber is dedicated to fostering and developing avenues for leadership development and effective participation in the future of our community.
ADVOCACY
Workforce Development

Promote Education
Through the Chamber’s leadership, staff and its members, we support the improvement and development of our education organizations. We will continue to foster strong relationships between educational institutions, businesses, and community leaders to strengthen our workforce, ensuring continued prosperity and a strong quality of life for the community of businesses and people.
