New Century Leadershiprsquos Top Secret Day was filled with excitement and a hint of sadness as students boarded the bus knowing it was the last class day of the year Armed with snacks they boldly made their way to the Texas Tech Football Training Facility where they were greeted by Jeff Jones Manager of the Football Training Facility and Defensive Coordinator Matt Waller-stedt A presentation short video and QampA provided in-depth knowledge of Texas Tech football and then a tour of the facility culminated in an on-the-field visit The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts provid-ed a touch of artistic creativity as the students visited and toured the facilities available to the public Scarborough Specialties

treated the students to a brisket lunch presentation and tour and then students made the brief trip to Hub City Fieldhouse where they learned of the College Baseball Hall of Fame and Brooks Wallace Award The NCL Olympics drew laughs and further offered a bond-ing experience for the students as they separated into teams and then tried to outdo each other in a game of stamina speed and quick reflexes The New Century Leadership banquet celebrates the ac-complishments of our young stars and will be held on Mon April 28 at the Jones ATampT Stadium West Side Stadium Club

Late last month the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced the Lesser Prairie Chicken would be officially listed as ldquoThreat-enedrdquo species The Lubbock Chamber had advocated for the spe-cies not to be officially listed but to allow voluntary conserva-tion agreements instead Below is an official statement released by the Chamber last month upon having learned of the federal agencyrsquos moveStatement of Chamber Chairwoman Alona Beesinger Re-garding March 27 USFWS ldquoThreatenedrdquo Listing for Lesser Prairie Chicken The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce is disappointed in to-dayrsquos ldquoThreatened Speciesrdquo listing of the Lesser Prairie Chicken by the US Fish and Wildlife Service This issue is extremely important to us given that a ldquothreat-enedrdquo listing under the Endangered Species Act for the Lesser Prairie Chicken has a potentially significant impact on the econ-omy of West Texas and Eastern New Mexico However we are encouraged that an unprecedented spe-cial rule regarding multi-state conservation plans was also part of this misguided listing We hope this will allow the agriculture and energy industries to address this listing while not hamper-

Young Professionals of Greater Lubbock Spotlight Suzanne Cox

Getting to know Suzanne Cox Young Professionals of Greater Lubbock mem-ber

Why did you choose to be a member of Young Professionals of Greater Lub-bock I felt that it was important to join an organization to network and interact with people in the same life stage as me a young professional building a career in Lubbock I saw YP as different than some of the other organizations that I am in-volved with because the focus is on you as a professional

How long have you been a YP mem-ber Since 2006What are some of your favorite YP events to attend First Tuesday Network-ing events are always a fun casual way to meet people I really love our Lunch amp Learn events as the speakers are always fantastic and you always take something significant away from the event

What do you feel is the most reward-ing part of being a YP member Hav-ing the opportunity to get to know other young professionals in Lubbock outside of your already established work and friend network

Why is being a YP member important to you I think that is it important that Lubbock continues to enhance the young professional community and the Chamber of Commerce is doing this through YP I want to be a part of an organization that helps encourage other young profession-als in Lubbock to be involved to continue to grow professionally and to meet new people

Where do you work Texas Tech Univer-sity School of Law

How did you get involved with the Chamber and what keeps you involved In the fall of 2012 not too long after my re-turn to Lubbock and to Lubbock Christian University I was asked to join the Board of Directors for the Chamber I was hon-ored to be asked to serve and have been grateful for the chance to be involved in the work of the Chamber of Commerce Irsquove been deeply impressed by the com-mitment of the Chamber to improve our vibrant community and have marveled at the army of volunteers who work diligently to advance the Chamberrsquos priorities I stay involved in the Chamber because of my desire to preserve and strengthen what makes this community special

What is your favorite event or program of the Chamber There are so many ex-cellent programs Irsquom impressed with the good work being done by Leadership Lub-bock and I thoroughly enjoy meeting up and coming leaders who are members of the class when they visit the LCU campus
