If you are a business owner, manager or work with others in some capacity you will definitely want to be a part of the Texarkana USA Regional Chamber of Commerce third Engaging Texarkana Conference on September 22, 2021.

The conference presented by the Texarkana Chamber along with Farmers Bank & Trust and the Texas Pioneer Foundation will include special guest speaker Tony Brigmon, former Ambassador of Fun for Southwest Airlines. Tony will bring his high energy and experience to the Texarkana event.

You’ll learn how to use the 3-Es; energize, engage, enrich, and the 3-VIEWs; PreView, HereView, ReView to have more fun, get more done, and bring out the best in everyone.”
