Shaping the Next Generation of Professionals through Partnerships
Education for Tomorrow Alliance (EfTA) is collaborating with businesses across the Houston area that are committed to investing in the future workforce. The Student Internship Program (SIP) connects companies with rising 12th-grade students for short-term internships, offering valuable insights into various professions. Through these internships, students gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the skills and responsibilities required in a chosen field. EfTA is currently seeking partners to host one or more students for two-week internships during Summer 2025.
Nicole Robinson Gauthier, Executive Director at the Lone Star College Foundation offers her reason for hosting a high school student each summer. “It’s important to build the next generation workforce. School teaches students the technical skills, but real-world internship experience can teach the soft skills that give them an edge for short and long term success.”
Internship hosts are needed in a wide range of fields, including business, engineering, medicine, and more, with a particular need for STEM-related opportunities. Internships can run any two-week period in June or July. To learn more about the program, or to sign up as a host, interested organizations can visit the SIP Mentor Landing Page on the EfTA website at efta-us.org.
Founded in partnership with The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce, Education for Tomorrow Alliance is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating education and community partnerships that advance student success. With innovative programs focused on science, technology and career preparation, EfTA is the portal through which business leaders can access and strengthen local education.
Library and Community Center to be Renamed for Former Chamber President Kevin Brady
Congratulations to former Congressman and former Chamber President Kevin Brady whose name will soon adorn a local library and community center.
Montgomery County Commissioner Ritch Wheeler (Pct. 3) recently announced that the South Montgomery County Library and South County Community Center will be renamed the Kevin Brady Library and Community Center.
In addition to serving in the Texas House of Representatives and in the U.S. House of Representatives, Brady served as one of the earliest leaders of the Chamber.
In 2023, the Montgomery County Commissioners Court, in partnership with Howard Hughes, approved an agreement to transform the South County Library and Community Center into a spacious, state-of-the-art community center designed to enhance voting, community activities, meetings and senior lunch programs.

The Chamber Joins Fellow Montgomery County Chambers in Austin to Advocate for Local Business Community
The Chamber was proud to join fellow members of the Montgomery County Coalition of Chambers for Montgomery County Day at the Capitol to advocate for the priorities of the local business community.
This biennial trip to Austin brought together more than 150 members of local chambers to engage directly with state officials, speaking with a unified voice on key economic and policy issues affecting the region.
Discussions centered on economic development, workforce solutions, infrastructure investments, healthcare and pro-business legislation. Additionally, the delegation was formally recognized on both the House and Senate floors, highlighting Montgomery County’s
commitment to legislative engagement.
Participants include business leaders from The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce, Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber, Greater EMC Chamber, Greater Magnolia Parkway Chamber, and Montgomery County Hispanic Chamber. The delegation met with influential state leaders, including: Senators Brandon Creighton (SD-4), Senator Paul Bettencourt (SD-7), Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows, Representative Steve Toth (HD-15), Representative Will Metcalf (HD-16), Representative Janis Holt (HD18), Representative Cecil Bell (HD-3) and Deputy Texas Comptroller Lisa Craven.
“This year’s Montgomery County Day at the Capitol was a resounding success,” said Ann Wolford, CFRE, Chairman of the
Board for The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our collective presence in Austin demonstrated the strength of our business community and our dedication to ensuring a prosperous future for Montgomery County.”
As the legislative session continues, The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce and its partners will remain actively engaged in advocating for policies that support business growth and economic prosperity.
