To the Richardson Chamber Community,
Happy Holidays to you and your family. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as your Chairperson this year. When I look back at the last 12 months, I see the faces and smiles of the people who make Richardson and the Richardson Chamber of Commerce unique.
2025 was a pivotal new chapter for us, featuring a new CEO, a renovated building, and a renewed focus on "Making Impactful Connections," we executed a strategic plan focused on five key pillars: Enhancing, Educating, Connecting, Informing and Advocating.
I am especially proud of our new Small Business Community. Thanks to our Tri-Chairs (Ted Hill, Kayvan Moghaddassi and Marta Frey), we hit it out of the park.
Between our educational sessions, networking mixers and annual programs, the Chamber hosted over 100 events with more than 2,000 attendees this year.
None of this would have been possible without the dedication of our Board of Directors, our tireless staff, and most importantly, you — our members and stakeholders. Your engagement is the heartbeat of this organization.
As I pass the gavel to Raul Hinojosa, I do so with full confidence that the momentum we built in 2025 will only accelerate. The foundation is strong, the building is beautiful, and our community is more connected than ever!
Thank you for trusting me with this role. Here’s to a prosperous 2026 for all of Richardson!
Sincerely,
Monica Scott
Richardson Chamber of Commerce Board Chair for 2025
Owner, Logotology
| | Chamber's Grand Reopening Wows Members & Community | | |
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us to celebrate the grand unveiling of our stunning, remodeled and re-envisioned office space Thursday night! If you were unable to attend, we hope you'll stop by soon for a tour.
Through the extraordinary support and generosity of our community, we have successfully created a warm and modern environment designed to enhance our capacity to serve our members. This achievement underscores the essential role of collaboration in driving our mission forward.
The next big unveiling in Richardson will surely be the completion of the new City Hall and Municipal Campus across the street as we make the area a premier welcoming center for businesses ready to thrive!
