MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Texas Midwest Community Network (TMCN) is to promote a regional approach to provide the resources and awareness for its members to achieve economic and community growth.

ORGANIZATION

Texas Midwest Community Network (TMCN) was founded in 1994 to provide a means by which communities in the region can work together to accomplish what one community cannot do alone. Programs and activities sponsored by TMCN are designed to accomplish the goals as outlined in the Mission Statement. Membership in TMCN is comprised of communities in the region. Each member community is represented on the TMCN Council by a voting delegate.

TMCN is governed by an Executive Committee comprised of no more than 8 Council members. The Executive Committee elects TMCN Officers, selects up to 3 at-large members from the business community to serve on the Executive Committee and selects the Executive Director.  In addition to quarterly meetings, the Executive Committee meets annually to review TMCN goals and define a Plan of Action for the upcoming year.
