President's Prospective

by Andy Virdell

Kingsland is coming alive in a big way as we move deeper into spring. The recent rain couldn’t have come at a better time, and with more on the way, the entire area is greening up fast. It’s a welcome sight as Kingsland and Lake LBJ hit their stride, just ahead of peak tourism season.

We’re already seeing momentum build, and it’s setting the stage for a strong stretch for our local businesses as visitors return to enjoy everything our area has to offer.

Be sure to join us for our upcoming Business After Hours Chamber Mixer on May 14th from 5:00–6:30 PM. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow members in a relaxed setting and stay engaged with the local business community.

We’re also looking ahead to the Chamber’s Lake LBJ Links Classic on June 19th at The Legends Golf Course. This year’s event will feature a large prize pool, a catered meal, and plenty of opportunities for teams and sponsors to get involved. Sponsorship information can be found below.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!

These tools are here to help you stay top of mind with both locals and visitors—and they only work if you use them.

Our website continues to attract both local users and potential visitors from outside the area.

Traffic is coming from a mix of:

This growing reach supports our efforts to position Kingsland as a destination and drive more visibility back to local businesses.
