Texarkana USA Chamber of Commerce
Since 1905, a partnership of businesses, organizations, and the people who run them, working to build a healthy economy and a better quality of life across two states and one community.
For 120 years the Chamber has been the table where Texarkana's businesses, civic leaders, and institutions come together. Not as a vendor to the community, but as a partnership of the people who build it.
The work is steady and unglamorous: helping a new business open its doors, preparing the next generation for the workforce, carrying the region's voice to the capitol, and keeping the lights on for the events that bring everyone into the same room.
Texarkana is the rare American city split down the middle by a state line, with a federal building and post office that sit in both states at once. Most places would treat that as a complication. Here it became the identity.
The Chamber represents the whole of it, Texas side and Arkansas side, because the economy never asked which side of the avenue you parked on.
Membership in the Chamber is membership in the machinery that keeps a regional economy moving. Here is where that effort goes.
ACT WorkKeys testing and National Career Readiness Certification, matching local talent to the jobs that keep the region working.
Recruiting, retaining, and growing the employers who anchor the twin-cities economy.
Carrying the business community's voice to city halls, two statehouses, and Washington.
Standing with Red River Army Depot and the defense partnerships that drive billions in regional impact.
The directory, the introductions, the ambassador network, and the everyday support that makes membership pay off.
Ribbon cuttings, networking, and the celebrations that turn a roster of businesses into a community.
Showing off the region to the people passing through, and the ones deciding whether to stay.

Whether you are opening your first storefront or leading a household-name employer, the Chamber is where Texarkana's businesses find their footing, their voice, and each other.
Join the ChamberOne region, two states, and a Chamber that has spent 120 years making sure the people who build Texarkana never have to do it alone.
