    Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President

    2020 // Annual Report WELCOME // Letter from the President The historical events of 2020 have left an indelible impact on our community as the way we live and work dramatically changed in the blink of an eye. Disruption and adaption became the new normal as we navigated our way through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and a global recession. Despite the challenges, I am proud that the Las Colinas Association was able to remain a consistent presence and resource for our members. The LCA maintained uninterrupted services despite the need to make significant operational adjustments including many of our office staff working from home. Similarly, we advanced several projects that you will most certainly notice during 2021. As more residents than ever took the opportunity to explore the promenade, canals, and trail connections of the Urban Center, the LCA debuted the new Urban Center foot and bike patrol in December 2020. The new patrol will serve as ambassadors of Las Colinas for the Urban Center’s many visitors and residents as well as support the LCA’s traditional vehicular security. Additionally, the LCA secured an agreement with the City of Irving to install community wayfinding signage within the Urban Center. Signage for the program is currently in the manufacturing stage and we expect to begin placement by early summer 2021. While the pandemic delayed construction of the Paws Colinas dog park, a joint project between the City of Irving and the LCA, completion is anticipated in late spring 2021. The seven-acre dog park will feature separate sections for large and small breeds, shade, water facilities, and access to Campion Trail.

Contact IABC lifers Melyssa Prince ([email protected]) or Tim Tune ([email protected]) with your ideas and inspiration, your energy and commitment and maybe a plan. And do it, Tune says, “immediately.” “Without steady leadership and support from volunteers, the IABC Fort Worth chapter is unsustainable,” Prince and Tune wrote to chapter members in August. “However, we could save the chapter if more members or interested communications professionals would commit to leadership or other volunteer roles. We could once again offer members and nonmember participants the value they expect and deserve.” Should the chapter go away, members would have the option of shifting to another chapter.
