Quarterly Update Updates for TxLECHi there, here is what TxLEC is watching for you. | ||
It's Quarterly Update Time! | ||
We’re often asked if the Texas Live Events Coalition is just another industry association. The answer is a resounding NO! We don’t host happy hours or educational meetings; we advocate for our industry. TxLEC gives a voice to more than 1.3 million live events workers in Texas, representing an industry that contributes over $250 billion to the state’s economy annually. In 2020, the pandemic exposed the fact that our industry lacked a unified voice in legislative discussions. A small committee came together to fight for financial relief and ensure lawmakers understood the impact of their decisions on our businesses and livelihoods. Since then, TxLEC’s bipartisan Board of Directors has monitored legislation, partnered with advocacy organizations, and met with state representatives to protect and advance the interests of our industry - from event planners and entertainers to caterers, food trucks, and production professionals. But we can’t do it alone. WE NEED YOUR VOICE! A stronger coalition means a stronger presence at the Capitol. As a member, you’ll receive updates on legislation affecting our industry, learn about opportunities to support advocacy efforts, and help ensure our collective voice is heard. Even better? Membership is currently FREE! Invite your colleagues, coworkers, and vendor partners to join. Every new member strengthens our ability to advocate for the businesses, professionals, and communities that make Texas live events possible. SIGN UP NOW! The Texas Live Events Coalition isn’t just about bringing the industry together; it’s about standing together to protect its future. Join us and make your voice count! | ||
