THE STATE OF THE CHAMBER: I Have A Dream

“The State of the Chamber: I Have A Dream” This moment feels tailor-made for a drumroll—a gathering that isn’t just a meeting, but a declaration. “The State of the Chamber: I Have A Dream” lands on January 19, 2026, with the deliberate weight of history behind it. Holding this event on the national holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sets the tone immediately: vision is not optional; it is an obligation. Progress isn’t random; it’s the result of courageous voices speaking boldly about where we go next. Members, partners, supporters, and neighbors will walk into a room charged with expectancy, because they know this is the moment the President lifts the veil and speaks plainly about where the Ennis Black Chamber of Commerce is headed, what the next era demands, and how the community will rise together. The event will illuminate the Chamber’s current landscape—the wins, the gaps, the lessons—and then shift into the terrain of dream-building, legacy-making, and collective purpose. It becomes a bridge between what has been accomplished and what is now within reach… if everyone commits with intention. It’s a promise that prosperity will no longer be theoretical—it will be engineered, measurable, and inevitable for those who participate. “The State of the Chamber: I Have A Dream” is the moment everyone hears the vision spoken aloud, feels the purpose in their bones, and walks out understanding their role in something bigger than themselves. It is a renewal of commitment, a reclamation of possibility, and a forward-leaning charge into a year that demands excellence, urgency, and unity. The dream becomes the blueprint. The Chamber becomes the engine. And 2026 becomes the year where vision transforms into victory. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 214-527-7524
