We are proud to share that our President & CEO, Al Arreola Jr., has been named one of the 100 Power Players in South Texas by the San Antonio Business Journal. This prestigious recognition highlights the people who are shaping the region’s future through bold leadership, vision, and influence—and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see Al among them.

Al’s inclusion is more than just a personal accolade — it’s a reflection of the momentum building in Corpus Christi and across the Coastal Bend. Since taking the helm at the United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, Al has energized our mission with bold ideas, strategic focus, and an unwavering commitment to unity and progress. Whether it’s advocating for infrastructure investment, expanding opportunities for small businesses, or building coalitions that reflect the true spirit of South Texas, his impact is clear — and growing.

The Power Players list isn’t just about titles. It honors those creating cultural momentum, shifting narratives, and redefining what leadership looks like. Al’s inclusion is a powerful acknowledgment of what we already know: Corpus Christi is rising, and he’s one of the leaders helping drive that rise.

We’re equally proud to see Kent Britton, CEO of the Port of Corpus Christi, included on this year’s list. His leadership at one of the nation’s most vital ports continues to drive transformative growth and opportunity for our region.

According to the San Antonio Business Journal, the Power Players list recognizes those “steering the economy, building community, and redefining what leadership looks like across our cities and industries.” It includes nonprofit leaders, cultural influencers, policy shapers, business executives, and other voices making a difference across South Texas.

We’re proud that Corpus Christi is so strongly represented in this year’s Power Players list—and even prouder of the leaders who continue to put our city and region on the map.
