Positive Outlook In 2010



Given the upbeat feeling among producers and ginners in Texas, TCGA executive vice president Tony Williams is anticipating another good turnout at the organization's annual meeting and trade show in April.

One noticeable change for the meeting will be the Overton Hotel as the headquarters hotel. The new facility is located near the Texas Tech campus adjacent to Jones AT&T Stadium. However, it is only a five-minute drive from the hotel to the Civic Center.

The Holiday Inn-Civic Center, which previously was the headquarters hotel, will continue to be used by TCGA attendees, according to Williams.

This will mark the 22nd consecutive TCGA meeting that Williams has been a part of since he became executive vice president in 1988. He has seen a lot of changes in the Texas cotton industry during that time period.

"As an industry, we have bigger gins that are automated, and we know how to adapt," says Williams. "This creates challenges for us, but it also means more opportunities. That's why I am so optimistic."
