Building a business takes more than a good idea, it takes the right conversations, connections, and planning. 🧠

Today’s Mission Mindshare session at the CEED focused on the business side of long-term success with “Life in Business,” led by Leslie M. Bowman and Alexis Guerra of New York Life Insurance Company.

The discussion explored the “3 T’s” of business ownership — Today, Taxes, and Tomorrow — giving entrepreneurs practical insight on financial preparedness, planning ahead, and building businesses designed to last.

Mission Mindshare continues bringing Mission’s entrepreneurs together to connect, learn, and grow alongside one another.

Economic development also means being prepared.

Today, the Mission Economic Development Corporation hosted the City of Mission’s Emergency Readiness Meeting at the CEED, bringing together local and regional partners focused on emergency coordination, planning, and response efforts.

As Mission continues to grow, emergency preparedness remains closely tied to economic development, business continuity, and community resiliency. From supporting small businesses and workforce initiatives to protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining daily operations, preparation plays an important role in ensuring Mission is equipped to respond during times of crisis.

The session was conducted in collaboration with the Texas Division of Emergency Management, alongside Chief Robert Alvarez, Mission Fire Deputy Chief Richard Cruz, and city departments working to strengthen emergency readiness efforts across Mission.
