LITTLE ROCK REGIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE | 2009 2009 annual report 1 2 3 America’s Fourth Strongest Economy Didn’t Just Happen America’s Second Best Bang-for-the-Buck City Forbes.com, November 30th 23rd Best Performing Metropolitan Area Milken Institute, November 20th Sixth Most-livable, Bargain Real Estate Market MSN Real Estate, November 11th Fourth Strongest Economy Business Week, October 22nd 16th Best Place to Raise Family Children’s Health, October 21st Seventh Strongest Economy Brookings Institution, June 16th Top Ten Smaller Market in South for Foreign Investment Southern Business & Development, April 30th 22nd Best Place for Business, Careers Forbes, March 25th Top Ten in Projected Hiring Manpower Employment Outlook Survey, March 10th Ninth Strongest Housing Market Forbes.com, January 7th From the Chairman By its very name, an Annual Report is meant to reflect the previous year. And the pages that follow do just that, detailing the people, businesses and organizations that made 2009 exceptional. As chairmen, there is also an understandable bias to share only the accomplishments of our respective years. However, in order to fully share the impact your Chamber has had on our community, a larger view is warranted. Being considered the fourth strongest economy during the most challenging economic times in generations didn’t just happen. It was the direct result of a commitment to regional economic development, marked by the Chamber’s staffing of the Metro Little Rock Alliance less than five years ago. Five years ago, $1,133,235,71 new capital investment, $364,930,594 new annual payroll, and 10,112 jobs did not exist. Five years ago, there was no Schulze & Burch, Caterpillar, HP, BJ Services, Welspun, LM Glasfiber, Sage V Foods, AT&T Internet Support, Stanley, Inc., Green Way Bio Energy, ACCENT Marketing Services, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Boyd Metals, Cardinal Health, Pinnacle Business Solutions, Ring Container or FTD.com in the region. Five years ago, there was no Business Retention & Expansion program, 80 annual existing industry visits, or Synchronist software to create a useable database for expansion opportunities. Five years ago, there was no dedicated staff for public policy to fight anti-business legislation like card check, no super project incentives, motion picture and content incentives, or Little Rock School District strategic planning partnership. Five years ago, there was no Little Rock Film Commission, Arkansas River Cities Sports Commission or Create Little Rock. Five years ago, there was no Business Quarterly Report, weekly Business E-Newsletter, or effective website and database. 6 Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce Five years ago, there was no :59 Minutes, Arkansas Film Series, Bowling for Business, Commerce Arkansas, Hispanic Business Series, Intro or Trailblazers Leads Groups, Member Orientation, Operation Thank You, Small Business Success Series, Speed Networking, Taste of the Rock or Women’s Business Series. It also should be noted that the Chamber is not claiming sole responsibility for all that is reported. Economic and community development is a team effort, dependent on any number of interconnected and disparate players to achieve our desired results. Five years ago. I extend my earnest appreciation to you – the members of the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce – for your investment of resources this past year to fund and execute the work of our private, member-supported organization. Five years ago, this organization had a vision of what it and the region could accomplish if it put aside geographic, political and cultural boundaries and focused on the marketplace – one million people in a 50-mile radius. It put a plan and staff support in place for success and went to work. Five years later, the aforementioned results trumpet that our visionaries’ confidence in regionalism was well placed. And now, what of the next five years? While I’ll leave that to Barbara Graves and her capable team of leaders to follow, I would offer that the past five years have built a base upon which we can create a Little Rock region which will not only rank among the strongest economies in the nation, but in the world. My caution would be to not take for granted the greatest economic development success in our history. As illuminated so well by the Better Together study and plan, commissioned by Fifty for the Future, our community must solve the very real and urgent challenges in public education, public safety and unity or our economic development momentum will end. To that end, the Chamber’s mission remains narrow, but deep – the economic development of the region. Our competitors are not within Arkansas’ borders, but without – and they are armed with deeper public and private pockets, more enticing incentives, and in many cases, more desperate circumstances. In other words, we can’t let our success numb us to the realities of our competitors. While there is a tendency among chambers for these reports to take credit for all good news that happens in a community in a given year, we have chosen to honor others’ good work by only reporting successes with which we were directly involved. It has been my honor to follow extraordinary former chairmen and serve with an exceptional group of leaders within our community, and I thank you all for your diligent effort in moving the Chamber forward in its mission on behalf of the community. As we look to next year and beyond, I predict many more successes and am eager to continue serving under the leadership of Barbara Graves and her successors. Finally, I also have developed a deep appreciation for the dayto-day efforts of our professional management. What they are able to accomplish with a small team and limited resources is nothing short of astonishing. Thank you again for an amazing year and for your enduring commitment to the Chamber and its leadership in the economic development of our region.
