Dear TexasOne SM Member:

Transcription

1 Letter from the President Dear TexasOne SM Member: In the fall of 2003, when Governor Rick Perry launched the exciting new program called TexasOne SM, we were optimistic that this kind of private-public partnership would showcase our state to top decision-makers and thought leaders nationwide. Just two short years later, not only have our dreams been realized but this first-of-its-kind program has exceeded all expectations and raised the bar for the way business is conducted in Texas and around the nation. As President of the Board of Directors of the Texas Economic Development Corporation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that oversees this dynamic initiative, I have seen firsthand the power of the public and private sectors working together for a common goal. It has been a great year for our state and for TexasOne SM. The program has achieved many milestones including a 250% increase in membership; raising more than $2.7 million towards our goal of $5 million; and having a finance director on board for a full year. TexasOne SM hosted top CEOs and corporate site consultants at two signature events resulting in the announcement of four companies bringing thousands of jobs and investment to Texas. In the past year, TexasOne SM expanded our board of directors and we have enjoyed tremendous success in spreading awareness of Texas premier business climate. Not only does Texas have the number one business climate in the nation but over the last 24 months, more than 228,200 new jobs have been created. I am pleased to report that the program has been such a resounding success because of the many dedicated business leaders who fully support Governor Perry s vision of a strong Texas that provides an unparalleled quality of life for all Texans. Thank you for making our state such a great place to do business. Sincerely, Massey Villarreal President TexasOne SM 1

2 Letter from the Executive Director Dear TexasOne SM Member: TexasOne SM has been directly involved in multiple decisions to relocate thousands of jobs to Texas. In May, the Governor announced that Ruiz Foods in Denison will bring 423 new jobs and $48 million in capital investment to our state. In June, Washington Mutual announced it will bring 4200 jobs and establish its first ever regional headquarters in San Antonio. It was the single largest economic development announcement in the country in the first six months of In August, Toyota announced their decision to invest an additional $50 million in its San Antonio plant. With these impressive job announcements results, Texas has earned some incredible accolades. Southern Business & Development magazine has rated Governor Perry as the most influential person in the U.S. for job creation and economic development, and in 2004 Texas was awarded Best Business Climate in the country by Site Selection magazine. In March of this year, Texas won the coveted Governor s Cup for having the largest number of job creation announcements in the nation. In June, Texas was named the U.S. State of the Future by Foreign Direct Investment magazine. Thanks to TexasOne SM, our state has been able to get the message out that Texas is an ideal business location. This year, we funded the production of a Wide Open for Business television commercial, an outdoor ad campaign called Moving to Texas and two high-profile Texas signature events at The Breeders Cup in Grand Prairie and the NASCAR race in Fort Worth. We cannot slow down now. TexasOne SM will continue to fund marketing activities to promote Texas for new jobs. Over the next 12 months, we will: host three Texas signature events complete several business recruitment missions around the nation continue communicating with CEO s and site selection professionals to explain the many competitive advantages of operating in Texas continue producing television, print and outdoor ads fund a media plan that gets our message out We thank you for your support of TexasOne SM and ask you to help us continue to grow by spreading the word that TexasOne SM is the key player in marketing the state as a premier business location. Best regards, Tracye McDaniel Executive Director, Economic Development & Tourism Office of the Governor 2

3 History During the 77 th and again in the 78 th legislative sessions, Texas Economic Development (TxED), along with Texas Economic Development Council and economic development stakeholders, requested $5 million to fund a business recruitment marketing campaign. Although legislative leadership clearly recognized the need to fund such a campaign, the state was facing a budget shortfall of $10 billion. Without a stable funding source, TxED decided to raise the needed marketing dollars through its 501 (c) (3) non-profit, non-partisan, tax-exempt corporation: the Texas Economic Development Corporation. The Texas Economic Development Corporation was established in 1987 by the Texas Legislature to support the programs and activities of TxED. The Corporation was incorporated as a non-profit and granted federal 501 (c) (3) status in On September 1, 2003, TxED was merged into the Governor s Office, along with the Texas Economic Development Corporation, and was renamed the Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism Division (EDT). On September 23, 2003, Governor Rick Perry announced the TexasOne SM program, a new marketing initiative to actively market and promote the State of Texas as a business location. TexasOne SM is a program of the Texas Economic Development Corporation managed by a statewide board of directors appointed by Governor Perry. This year, Governor Perry established the Governor s Economic Development Partnership Council. Comprised of the Board of Directors and Tier One members of TexasOne SM, the Council s mission is to help sell Texas. The Council is committed to growing the membership of TexasOne SM and helping to recruit new jobs to Texas through trade missions and other recruitment activities. In July of 2005, Governor Perry named Secretary of State Roger Williams as Chairman of the Economic Development Partnership Council. Mission Governor Perry has made economic development the cornerstone of his administration. The mission of TexasOne SM is to create a public/private partnership to market Texas in a dynamic and competitive manner. TexasOne SM is funded through private contributions by organizations and individuals interested in the business climate of the state, and interested in making a positive contribution towards the promotion of economic development and job creation in Texas. Goal The overarching goal of this campaign is to market and promote Texas as a premier business location. Dollars raised will be used to fund special events and other exciting and highly visible marketing and communications activities appropriate to the target audience. These marketing activities include: Trade shows Texas signature events The results of these activities will be: Familiarization tours Advertising/PR Recruitment missions Market research Increased interest in Texas Increased number of leads for Texas Branding of Texas as a business location Perception of Texas as #1 business climate 3
