📣 MY FELLOW ROTARIAN,

October is Rotary’s Economic and Community Development Month, celebrating efforts to strengthen local economies and create opportunities for growth.

We’re pleased to welcome Orlando Campos, CEO of the Harlingen Economic Development Corporation this Friday, October 17th. With over 28 years of experience in economic development across Texas, Orlando has helped attract major employers like Hilton Worldwide, Google, and Zurich Americas, and supported more than 125 business startups through initiatives like the Addison TreeHouse.

Join us tomorrow as Orlando shares insights on driving economic growth and fostering community prosperity right here in the Rio Grande Valley.
