This is an open letter to the membership of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce (“ACoC”) and by extension to the Citizens of Amarillo and Potter and Randall counties. The Mission Statement of the ACoC is: “The Mission of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce is to enhance business and industry growth while preserving a high quality of life.” I know that many businesses in the Amarillo area are barely staying alive as we moved from 2020 into 2021. Perhaps the Mission Statement of the ACoC should read: “To ensure the prosperity of its members against all impediments public and private.” Maybe the Chamber should be more oriented towards individual business and not so much the esoteric and general “enhance business” etc.
