Arrived home late late last night from a long day in Austin. We had 15 people from across the state--our regional board members, representatives of chambers and city economic development departments and one mayor speaking on our program's behalf at the state department of transportation commission meeting.
It is unlikely that any immediate resolution to our funding woes will result from our combined effort yesterday. But we sent a unifed message to our own funding agency, the press, and folks back in our regions that the program is important to rural Texas economies. Our good showing gives us a stronger foundation from which to form our next set of strategies to fight this.
That's all we could hope to accomplish yesterday, and it looks as if we did it.
