Happy New Year!! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and started 2015 off with a bang. We are

excited for 2015 as we have new staff on board with new and innovative ideas to make our Chamber better than ever. Our strategic plan is set and we are ready for a great year under the direction of our 2015 Chairman, Dr. Don Stockton, who is the superintendent of Conroe Independent School District.

Under his leadership we will continue the path that Danielle Schein-er helped lead in 2014. Our new Committee Structure will mirror our Strategic Plan:1. Membership Development Committees a. Retention / New Member Sales b. Diplomat Team c. Conroe / Willis / Montgomery Focus Groups2. Infrastructure Committees a. Economic Development b. Mobility c. Water d. Technology e. MISC.3. Healthcare a. Healthy Living AllianceThis month we will be assigning board members and other com-munity representatives to make up the committees and start their chart of work to be presented at our monthly board meetings. We envision that with this new structure we will be better equipped to be the “Voice of Business” for our service area.

2015 will be a proactive year to better position our Chamber for the growth coming our way. But let’s not forget 2014. Come out on Saturday, January 17 for our Chairman’s Ball honoring our past Chair, Danielle Scheiner. It will be a great night of recognition, din-ner, dancing to the tunes of a live band and some gambling mixed in there as well. Come out to support Danielle and your Chamber of Commerce.

New Year, New Service, Greater MobilityThe City of Conroe is pleased to announce a new service for the New Year to provide greater mobility to its residents.

The Glaval Titan II Low Floor buses seats 21 passengers with 3 wheel chair positions. They have a very nice clean looking wrap designed to symbolize the green pine tree landscape of Conroe.

Two Conroe Connection buses will travel along Frazier St from North Loop 336 at Walmart and Lowe’s to South Loop 336 at Lone Star Family Health Center and the Conroe Regional Medical Center.

The service will be provided by buses that are special low floor kneeling buses with no steps making boarding the bus much easier. The City is constructing new sidewalks along Frazier St to help people safely access the bus as well as attractive bus shelters and bus stop signs and to mark the route and where passengers get on and off the bus.

Bus route maps and schedules can also be picked up at Conroe City Hall, Oscar Johnson Jr. Community Center and Greater Conroe/ Lake Conroe Area Chamber of Commerce offices. The bus service will run Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Regular bus fare will be $1.00 for a one-way trip. With the appropriate Conroe Connection Transit ID Cards, seniors, persons with disabilities and students will pay half fare of 50 cents for a one-way trip.

The costs of the vehicles and operations as well as the construction costs associated with the new fixed route bus service are supported by the Federal Transit Administration, Texas Department of Transportation and the City of Conroe.

The Leadership Montgomery County (LMC) Class of 2015, along with LMC alumni, enjoyed a day hearing the latest updates in government at national, state and local levels at the recent LMC Government Session.

The session was held at the Conroe Tower and was directed by Steve Williams, Assistant City Administrator and Chief Financial Officer for the City of Conroe, and a graduate of the LMC Class of 2006. Each year, LMC alumni are invited back to the Government Session to meet the class, visit with other alumni and hear updates from their government officials.

Conroe Mayor Webb Melder welcomed the LMC class and alumni to the session that began with a breakfast sponsored by Glen Bernstein and Vic’s Precision Automotive.

Just after breakfast, they got to hear from U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady via satellite from

Washington DC. Class members and alumni then made their way to the Commissioner’s Court to hear a presentation from LMC graduates County Judge Alan Sadler and Commissioner Mike Meador. Senator Robert Nichols gave the class a look into state government. After lunch spon-

sored by CHI St. Luke’s The Woodlands Hospi-tal, the class heard from municipal government leaders including Paul Virgadamo, City Admin-istrator for the City of Conroe; Vicky Rudy, City Manager for the City of Oak Ridge North; Hector Forestier, City Manager for the City of Willis; and Nick Wolda, Director of Community Relations for The Woodlands Township. All four are gradu-ates of Leadership Montgomery County.

The class traveled to the Montgomery County Courthouse for presentations by 435th District Court Judge Mike Seiler, County Court at Law 2 Judge Claudia Laird, County Attorney J D Lambright, and Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Trey Spikes. Judge Seiler, County Attorney

Lambright and Justice of the Peace Spikes are all LMC graduates. The day ended with the LMC Leadership Series, facilitated by LMC alumni Melanie Bush of Better Bookkeepers, Steve Scott of Houston Business Coach, Julie Ambler of The Woodlands Christian Academy, Janet Mullings of SHSU – The Woodlands Center, Vic Tarasik of Vic’s Precision Automotive and LMC Chairman of the Board James Stilwell of Martin & Stilwell.

Business Insight WithBlueJack National's Casey Paulson

written by Samantha Good

Bluejack National is one of the most highly anticipated projects coming to Montgomery County. There has been a lot of interest in the newest luxury-lifestyle community and championship golf course. Casey Paulson, president of Bluejack and partner at Beacon Land Development, took time to speak with the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce about the project.

Paulson has been in the golf world since the mid 90’s. His love of golf started in high school and grew as he played through college. His career progressed from golf pro through general manager to developer with the creation of Beacon Land Development. Paulson explains his path as a natural progression.

His desire to “create something special, to find the right piece of land and help transform it into more than just a golf course,” Paulson said. “I hope to be a part of this community for a long time. I want to build a legacy, a family heirloom that is passed down through generations.”

Paulson and his partners at Bluejack National and Beacon Land Development took their passion for golf and turned it into an exciting new project in Montgomery County. They have put together an outstanding team of local talent to help them bring their vision to life. This top notch team paired with the remarkable piece of land, attracted professional golfer, Tiger Woods, to their project. Blue Jack National is the first Tiger

Woods designed course in the United States.

Paulson loves to talk about the magical quality this land has and doesn’t hesitate to emphasize the qualities that set Bluejack apart.

“I recall visiting the area over a year ago and witnessing the transformation that has already occurred,” Paulson said. “The unique rolling hills and tall mature pines that surround the course, that was previously Blaketree National, create a sense of old romance that is reminiscent of premier destination private clubs like Augusta National Golf Club and Sage Valley Golf Club.”

The land has always been the key for them. The abundance of mature trees paired with the elevation change from the front gate to the club house make guests feel as they have traveled farther than an hour away from downtown Houston. The atmosphere coupled with the un-paralled amenities will make Bluejack one of the top private clubs in Texas.

Paulson and his business partners are happy they found this opportunity in Texas.

“I feel the area is not only a great place to do business, but I feel that growth is happening with tremendous velocity and shows no signs of slowing down because of the strong economic environment in Houston and Montgomery County,” Paulson said.

Paulson and his family recently moved to the Montgomery, Texas area from Dallas. They are looking forward to becoming a partner in the community.

Paulson has many enjoyable stories from the time he has been in the golf community. He has attended many major championships, played with great players and won many awards throughout the years. He described a devastating storm that wrecked the Rancho San Marcos Golf Course in Santa Barbara, while it was under his management.

“I recall the accomplishment of our collective team work to put the course back together,” Paulson said. “I am looking forward to the teamwork and building of a great community at Bluejack.”

“Who’s going to fill our shoes?” That simple question kicked off 25 years of outreach and engagement by volunteers to prepare students for the future. For a quarter century, Education for Tomorrow Alliance has been a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting the business and education communities in Montgomery County. With innovative programs focused on science, technology and career preparation, EFTA has become the portal through which business leaders can access and strengthen local education. Starting in 1986, a group of area scientists and researchers working in the Research Forest area of Montgomery County started meeting regularly to form the Research Forest Technology Association. The group, led by the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC), was interested in sharing ideas, especially in line with George Mitchell’s vision of creating a hub for taking ideas from inception to tangible end products. Of particular interest for members of the RFTA was science education, as many have moved to Texas from universities or places with a thriving technology sector. They wanted to cultivate interest in engineering, medicine and the like among students who would soon make

up the workforce. In 1989, The Research Forest Technology Association approached the now Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce and its President Kevin Brady to explore ways for the business community to engage with the school district. With the support of key business and school partners, Education for Tomorrow Alliance was created in 1989 to encourage the next generation of workers in STEM fields. Having enough skilled workers to fill high-tech jobs in today’s global economy remains a nationwide challenge. STEM workers are more than twice as likely to be employed and with higher pay. In turn, those early volunteers identified enhancement of the local science fair as a primary project where they could have impact. In 1990, the group received a four-year descending grant from the Department of Education to hire an Executive Director and begin student programming. Education for Tomorrow Alliance staff and volunteers organized the first SCI://TECH science fair in partnership with schools at Lone Star College – Montgomery (Montgomery College).

EfTA programs have evolved through the years to include a variety of ways to excite students about the future and engage them in hands-on learning. In 1991, EfTA partnered with Entergy to present the CHOICES program, since replaced by Future Focus, in local school districts. Future Focus is a classroom-based curriculum designed to promote positive decision making among junior high school students. Trained volunteer presenters offer interactive programming to help students realize that educational attainment today has lasting impacts on their options later in life. Around the same time, the Student Internship Program

(SIP) began at the insistence of volunteers. Internships are designed to provide valuable work experiences for students as they explore career possibilities. The program offers a first step toward furthering their education and figuring out what direction students want to take in life.

Education for Tomorrow Alliance eventually became a separate 501(c)(3) with the focus of cultivating that business-education partnership. Other programs have come and gone, but the vision of EfTA remains helping students become equipped with the knowledge and skills to be career and college ready. And the heart of EfTA remains its dedicated volunteers preparing today’s youth for tomorrow’s workplace. “EfTA’s ability to reach upwards of 200,000 students over the past 25 years, comes from the thousands of volunteers who share their time and expertise to give students a unique learning opportunity. You know the programs are working when you see students come back as employers and volunteers,” comments EfTA Board Chair Brian Pellon. With the support of volunteers, Education for Tomorrow Alliance hopes to keep filling shoes for the next 25 years and beyond. Get InvolvedThe key to EfTA success remains the dedicated volunteers who support the programs. Education for Tomorrow Alliance is signing up volunteers for the 25th Annual SCI://TECH Exposition, Igniting Inspiration for a Generation. The greatest volunteer need is for science fair judges on Friday, January 30, 2015, to serve either the morning senior high science fair (7:30 am check-in), the afternoon junior high event (12:45 pm check-in), or

both. No experience is needed to become a judge, and training is provided on-site. Judging will take place at The Lone Star Expo & Convention Center, Science Fair judges can register at: www.efta-us.org/volunteer. For those unavailable on January 30, additional SCI://TECH volunteer opportunities can be found online as well.

EfTA’s MISSION is to:• CONNECT business with local educators• MENTOR today’s students for tomorrow’s workplace• ENGAGE community volunteers to inspire youth for success

EFTA 25th Anniversary Event - Kirsty Crofton

I remember first hearing about the “Education for Tomorrow Alliance” program sitting in my AP Chemistry class at The Woodlands High School in 2008. Since I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career I thought EFTA sounded like a good opportunity to try and figure out my future, plus it sounded a lot better than my summer lifeguarding job! I applied to EFTA and received my first internship position at Huntsman Corporation working in their testing lab for

their Performance Products Division where I was able to integrate my passion of math and science and apply it to a variety of chemical and physical testing methods. During the internship, I was not only building my resume but I was developing my basic engineering skills while also receiving mentorship for my personal career growth. That summer working at Huntsman allowed me to realize that being

an engineer was the career that I ultimately wanted to pursue. After graduating from The Woodlands High School in 2009, I attended Purdue University in Indiana studying Biomedical Engineering. I started applying those engineering skills that I learned from my summer internship into

my undergrad courses. Not only did the EFTA program help me with my schoolwork, it also set me apart from all the other engineering students by being one of the very few freshman students who already had an industry-based internship. By building my professional experiences through the EFTA program, I was able to land an engineering internship for every summer during college with major chemical and biomedical companies including Huntsman (Analytical Lab Intern, TX), Abbott (Quality Engineering Intern, VA) and Zimmer (Quality Engineering Intern, IN). Those industry-based experiences helped me get to where I am today. After graduating from Purdue University with a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering, I moved to California to work for Edwards Lifesciences as a Quality Engineer for their Tranascatheter Heart Valve division. Just like that summer in 2008, I am still able to integrate my passion for math and science into my developing career!

I am forever grateful for the opportunity that Huntsman gave me through the EFTA program and look forward to seeing more talent coming from this program! Congratulations on your 25 year anniversary and thanks for everything you do.
