Members of the South Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association, Conference Sponsors and Conference Exhibitors:
Our 77thAnnual South Texas County Judges and Commissioners Association Conference was a huge success with so many people experiencing what Hidalgo County has to offer. I would like to thank all of the judges, commissioners, spouses, guests, exhibitors, sponsors, and everyone else who made our conference in the beautiful city of McAllen a memorable one.
My sincere thanks and gratitude to Rick Avery and Ashley Matthews with the V.G. Young Institute of County Government, Texas AgriLife Extension Service, and Becky Frost and Julie Anderson with County Progress Magazine. Our coordination and planning for this event would not have been possible without the hard work and support of these groups, along with the following: Commissioner Neil Fritsch, Commissioner Roger Galvan, Commissioner Jerry Garza, Jim Allison, Gene Terry, Judge Ramon Garcia, Jennifer Longoria, Rocio, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Lucy, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, McAllen Convention & Visitors Bureau, Embassy Suites, and Hidalgo County.
Special thanks to the Hidalgo County Commissioners Court for sponsoring a huge Host Court event featuring mariachis, ballet folkloric, comedy, a live band, steak dinner, and so much more. Wow!
Of utmost importance is our appreciation for the financial support provided by the exhibitors and sponsors. Their generosity has continued to make our conference a wonderful success. We could not do it without them. Please take time to review the list of exhibitors and sponsors provided and thank these individuals when the opportunity arises.
