JIM RICH

This has been a milestone year as we completed organizational changes to reconstitute the Board of Directors

and meet new governance regulations to maintain our status as a certified development corporation with the

U.S. Small Business Administration. We expanded the board to fifteen and eliminated our former membership.

Most of our former members, if they are not Directors, are now Advisory Directors, and we added other

community leaders to facilitate our mission. When government regulations are proposed and implemented

there are broader reasons for them. We are now able to provide larger loan amounts with fewer restrictions so

we are poised for a period of growth with additional loans. The trade­off is more oversight requirements for the

Board of Directors and the potential for increased oversight by the SBA. The federally guaranteed loans we

market and service are aimed at providing long term fixed rate financing for small business expansions. They

are real estate loans or loans for large equipment. Together the fees generated allow the Southeast Texas

Economic Development Foundation to coordinate and/or finance broader economic development activities.  I

am proud that of all SBA loan programs, our program is backed by zero subsidies from the SBA or federal

budget. Congress places an annual cap on the volume of loans and establishes the allowable fees to fund the

program.

We have enjoyed a multiple decade relationship with Scott Actkinson and the staff at Statesman Business

Advisors in Houston, Texas to underwrite and submit our loans for SBA approval. Eric Hird with the law firm

Hird, Chu, & Lawji, PLLC located in the Woodlands, Texas ably closes our loans. Jessica Hill and Cheryl Kizer

provide outstanding efforts to market and service the loans on a daily basis. Our unique relationship with the

Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce has provided management support for decades and I have

performed the Executive Director role in excess of sixteen years in conjunction with my role as President of

the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce. That changed on June 30 when I retired from the Chamber

with plans to only serve as the Executive Director of the Southeast Texas Economic Development Foundation.

This change further satisfies the new governance requirements implemented this year.

Let me close with an expression of appreciation to the outstanding volunteers who serve on the loan, audit,

portfolio review, and REDI committees. We must have an engaged and competent board to complete our

work, and we have great contributors. Let me especially thank Board Chairman Steve Grantham who guided

us through the by­law revisions and changes in governance. This report highlights a year of accomplishments

and progress, and a great outlook for the future.
