As Boerne, Kendall County and the Hill Country grow, so grows the Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber recently welcomed its 900th member when RVK Architecture joined in March. According to its website, RVK is a professional design firm that delivers architecture, interior design and landscape architecture solutions for public and private clients.
It states it is the largest architecture firm in San Antonio certified as a women-owned business enterprise. It has been in business for more than 50 years.
“I can’t even begin to explain my excitement for reaching our 900-member milestone,” chamber President and CEO Kim Blohm told The Star. “Our chamber is nothing without our engaged and supportive members, and we’re so thankful to be at the core of a flourishing business community.”
The 900-plus members ranks the Boerne chamber in the top five in the San Antonio area as far as members, according to the San Antonio Business Journal. It trails the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce and the North San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, all of which have more than 1,000 members.
The San Antonio Hispanic Chamber has 900-plus mem bers as well and was ranked ahead of Boerne in the latest SABJ list, published in 2021. Blohm said she wasn’t sure how far or if the Hispanic chamber remains ahead as far as member numbers. Boerne’s actual membership total is 906 as of the end of March.
During the spring 2021 Business Journal ranking, Boerne was listed with 817 members to the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber’s 900. Blohm said the Boerne chamber has welcomed 78 new members so far in 2022.
“Years of solid growth and commitment from the chamber membership has brought the organization where it is today, a vibrant and forward-thinking member organization,” Blohm said. “We’re constantly working to ensure our member benefits are relevant and that we are enabling the success of our business community through advocacy, education and connection.”
The San Antonio chamber had 1,750 members at the last ranking, New Braunfels had 1,550 and the North San Antonio chamber had 1,104. All of those chambers encompass a much larger general population than Boerne.
Blohm said when she joined the Boerne chamber, it had 496 members. That was in 2019.
She anticipates the chamber will reach 1,000 members by August.
