Harlingen Chamber Announces 2025–2026 State of the County & State of the State Luncheons

Harlingen, TX – November 10, 2025
The Greater Chamber of Harlingen is proud to announce two of its signature annual events:
- State of the County Luncheon — Thursday, December 18, 2025
- State of the State Luncheon — Thursday, January 15, 2026
Both events will be held at Texas State Technical College (TSTC) in Harlingen.
These gatherings bring together community leaders, business professionals, and distinguished federal, state, and county elected officials to discuss key updates, upcoming initiatives, and opportunities shaping the future of Harlingen and the Rio Grande Valley.
“Our State of the County and State of the State luncheons give us an opportunity to highlight progress, collaboration, and the collective work being done to strengthen our community,” said Javier De Leon, President/CEO of the Greater Chamber of Harlingen. “These events are about more than updates; they’re about connecting our leaders, businesses, and residents around a shared vision for the Valley’s future.”
Sponsorships and individual tickets are now available. A special combo sponsorship package is also being offered for those wishing to participate in both events.
