We’re proud to celebrate an exciting moment for the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce. Our Chief Marketing Officer, Jessica Furdock, has been named one of the honorees for the 2025 Corpus Christi Under 40 (CCU40)!

The CCU40 awards recognize young professionals across the Coastal Bend who are making waves in their industries, leading with integrity, and giving back to their communities. Jessica is the perfect example of what it means to lead with vision, creativity, and heart.

With 11 years of experience in the Chamber industry, Jessica brings a deep understanding of how to connect people, foster growth, and elevate local businesses. Since joining the Chamber team in 2022 as VP of Events, she quickly earned a reputation for delivering high-impact experiences that bring people together and strengthen our business community. In 2025, she stepped into her current leadership role as Chief Marketing Officer, where she now leads brand strategy, storytelling, and communications across all Chamber initiatives. Under her guidance, the Chamber’s brand and impact have grown across the region.

Jessica has successfully led major initiatives, including the State of the City, State of the County, State of the Port, and Salute to the Military luncheons, each drawing hundreds in attendance and spotlighting key community stakeholders. Her leadership on community events like the 1,400+ rider Conquer the Coast bike ride and her innovative marketing campaigns exemplify her commitment to economic development, community engagement, and member-focused outreach.

A proud alumna of Leadership Corpus Christi Class 52, Jessica understands the importance of servant leadership and collaboration. Since 2023, she has also been enrolled in the Institute for Organizational Management (IOM), a prestigious four-year professional development program offered by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Through this program, she continues to hone her expertise in strategic marketing, nonprofit leadership, and organizational effectiveness.

Jessica is known not only for her strategic thinking but for her passion, positive energy, and deep commitment to community impact. Whether she’s coordinating a signature event or brainstorming a campaign that celebrates our members, she leads with authenticity and care. Her nomination for CCU40 is a well-earned recognition of her professional achievements and the meaningful relationships she continues to build across our region.

Congratulations, Jessica! Your Chamber family is incredibly proud of your accomplishments and honored to work alongside you as you help shape the future of our organization and the community. And congratulations to the other 2025 Corpus Christi Under 40 honorees!
