Throughout 2011, Austin’s reputation as a dynamic leader in employment, education, innovation and quality of life reaffirmed what many of us have long known: the future for our region is limitless. Our regional economic model is a proven success, and serves as the envy of many of our peer markets around the country and, increasingly, around the world.

The numbers tell the story. Austin continues to top countless national rankings for job growth, innovation, quality of life and more. In fact, Austin ranked as the 26th best economic recovery worldwide--the highest ranking of all U.S. Cities, according to a global study by the Washington-based Brookings Institution. The ranking is based in part on job and income growth during the current economic recovery.

Since 2004, Opportunity Austin worked to add an estimated 140,400 new jobs to the Central Texas workforce, with a payroll increase of $7 billion. At Opportunity Austin, our mission is to build on this success and sustain our momentum for strong business growth.

We want to thank all of Opportunity Austin’s stakeholders for your continued support. Quite simply, Austin would not be what it is today without the commitment of our investors, supporters and partners in Opportunity Austin. Thank you for your investment in a prosperous regional economy for Central Texas.

#1| BEST BIg CITIES FOR JOBS | Forbes

The Austin area experienced tremendous economic vitality in 2011, with 51 businesses expanding their offices, industrial production and job force. In addition, 35 new companies chose to relocate their businesses to our region from other parts of the country, an increase from 29 in 2010. This economic development occurred across myriad industries, including key growth industries such as biopharmaceutical, high tech, digital media and clean tech. Strategic recruitment efforts will continue to further diversify Austin’s business portfolio, and secure the region’s national reputation as a center of human capital and innovation.

In 2011 the Chamber continued the implementation of the Technology Partnership, created in late 2010 by the Chamber board of directors to provide outreach to the regional technology community. The technology sector includes over 3,900 companies within a five-region area surrounding Austin. In fact, tech companies account for 12% of the region’s total workforce and 25% of the area payroll. Because such a significant percentage of our workforce is engaged in technology, the business retention and expansion work of the Chamber is now aligned under the Technology Partnership.

Last year, the Technology Partnership engaged over 100 regional tech executives to provide input and direction to the strategies related to not only business attraction and retention but also company formation. Seven technology special interest groups (SIgs) focused the initiative in the following industry segments:

Throughout 2011, Austin saw its regional venture capital investments increase by 13% to over $1.1 billion. With 6,000 new technology jobs created, the region experienced the largest year over year increase in the past decade.

Of note in 2011 was the launch of the Startup Austin Texas web portal of the Startup America Partnership. Austin was the first region in Texas to participate in this national web initiative. And to increase the visibility of regional technology startups seeking funding, the Chamber also created the Austin A-List, an easy go-to source for tech startup investors.

Because 80% of new jobs are created by existing businesses, retaining the companies that are currently here and fostering their growth is a top strategic priority. Throughout 2011, the Chamber’s Business Retention & Expansion team (BR&E) worked diligently to engage with Central Texas executives and identify the top issues impacting regional businesses. The team visited over a thousand companies, and conducted extensive surveys with more than 300 of the top regional executives to discover their business needs.

Opportunity Austin’s groundbreaking talent pipeline initiatives are recognized as a national model by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Due to Opportunity Austin funding, the Chamber and 15 area school districts set a 70% direct-to-college enrollment goal for the Class of 2015, up from 62% for the Class of 2010.

• The region’s first college enrollment initiative exceeded its first five-year goal to increase college enrollment from our region by 30% between 2006 and 2010.

• The region’s Skillpoint College/Career Expo exposed 13,000 Central Texas high school students to Austin careers and the post-secondary education they require.

• The region’s 2011 Chamber Financial Aid Saturday events helped 2,000 families submit federal financial aid forms. Regional Q1 2011 FAFSA filings increased 102% since 2006; Class of 2011 financial aid is up $50 million over Class of 2006.

• Austin ISD’s college/career readiness rate has increased from 38% to 55% from the Class of 2008 to the Class of 2010.

• The region has the most sophisticated regional database (Central Texas Student Futures Project) to track individual high school, employment, military and post-secondary education data records in the United States.

• The Austin Chamber, in partnership with local chambers of commerce, issued progress reports for the Austin, Del valle, Eanes, Hays, Hutto, Lake Travis, Leander, Manor, Pflugerville, Round Rock, and San Marcos ISDs. These reports monitor progress and report out-year school district targets for direct college enrollment, college readiness, high school graduation and TAKS pass rates.

• A task force of business and community leaders also produced an Austin Community College (ACC) progress report, detailing ACC’s accomplishments and identifying areas for growth, as well as addressing talent development needs specific to certain industries in Austin.

ANNUAL REPORT2011

“ The Austin Chamber of Commerce quarterbacks the strategic provision of resources and support and leads sophisticated efforts to hold districts’ feet to the fire with the pioneering report card and a firm commitment to weighing in on political issues and questions of funding.”

“ Any tax or bond election will first involve persuading the Austin Chamber of Commerce.”

“ The greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, a powerhouse of support when it comes to school board tax increase and bond elections….has repeatedly called for the district to balance its budget and fund academic programs in the five-year strategic plan.”

Transportation and infrastructure remain top priorities for Central Texas, and the Chamber continues to be a leading advocate for improving regional mobility.

In 2011, Chamber board members were appointed to lead key initiatives, including Senator Watson’s Mobility Improvement Priorities Task Force, the City’s 2012 Bond Election Advisory Task Force, and CAMPO’s Transit Working group. Chamber leadership also facilitated dialogue to implement solutions for congested intersections such as 5th and 6th Streets at Lamar and Parmer at Dessau.

visible progress was made with key mobility facilities in 2011, including the opening of the IH-35/Ben White interchange, SH-130 access to Cameron Road, and the Austin Executive Airport. The Chamber advocated for bond packages that successfully passed in Travis County to fund road, drainage, bridge and bike/pedestrian improvements, as well as the acquisition of parkland, green space and new recreational facilities. The State provided CTRMA with new options for financing tools, allowing for the potential to proceed more quickly with express lane projects on Mopac and US 183 South.

Another key infrastructure priority is the funding, development and construction of a top-tier four-year medical school associated with The University of Texas. Chamber leadership is actively involved with Senator Watson’s working group on this project, which would enable a substantial expansion of the life sciences business sector in Central Texas and create a broad new avenue of opportunity for private sector jobs.

The Chamber supports a comprehensive strategy to plan for future water needs, including conservation, increased use of reclaimed water and construction of a new Water Treatment Plant 4. In 2011, following a report from the City Auditor, elected officials agreed that delaying the project would be too costly, and Water Treatment Plant 4 will now move forward. At the state level, the Texas Water Development Bonds Amendment (SJR 4) was passed, allowing increased funding for statewide water infrastructure.
