Sherman, Texas -- Eric Bridges, Executive Director of the Texoma Council of Governments announced today that Texoma Made 2025, a premier learning and networking event for business leaders, city officials, educators, and changemakers shaping the future of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at Austin College in Sherman. 

“Our objective with Texoma Made 2025,” said Mr. Bridges “is to equip leaders with strategies, resources, and partnerships that strengthen economic resilience, promote our region, and drive innovations. With rapid growth in advanced manufacturing, workforce demand, and business development – alongside rising housing and infrastructure pressures – communities must act now to plan for a sustainable future.  By combining actionable strategies, expert insights, and cross-sector collaboration, Texoma Made 2025 will equip community leaders with the tools to turn lessons from resilience into measurable progress across Texoma.” 

Texoma Made 2025 is funded in part by a grant from the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) with additional support from Hot 107.3 FM, First United Bank, 7 Sisters Care, Huitt-Zollars, Texoma HR, Prince ABA Consulting, Jake Shockley State Farm, Lone Star PACE, and DSB WorldWide.  For additional event details, including how to register, go to www.texomamadeconference.com
