After she helped represent more than 500 businesses in one of the fastest growing areas of Texas, Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce President Mary Evans stepped down Dec. 9.
When Evans became president in 2009, she brought more than 20 years of experience in marketing, public relations and event planning from within the commercial real estate industry. Heading up the chamber, her skill set not only helped businesses become more successful but address the issues of transportation and school finance on members' behalf.
"Having that relationship with legislators and superintendent of schools and Lone Star College has been a unique and overwhelming experience for me," Evans said. "Just to work with all of those individuals and help tackle some of the big issues the community has faced was a great experience."
A key issue the chamber focused on while Evans was president related to transportation, she said.
