概要
When federal decisions shape your city’s future, you cannot afford to sit on the sidelines.
In this episode of Greater 210, host Katie Ferrier, Senior Vice President of Public Policy & Economic Development at the Greater San Antonio Chamber, is joined by SA to DC 2026 co-chairs Kevin Matula (USAA) and Krista Piferrer (FirstDay Foundation).
They break down why more than 200 business, civic, nonprofit, and community leaders travel to Washington each year with one unified message. From advocating for Joint Base San Antonio and major infrastructure priorities to strengthening relationships with members of Congress and their staff, SA to DC is more than a trip. It is a long-term strategy.
The conversation highlights how consistency, collaboration, and relationship-building drive results for San Antonio and contribute to the broader growth of Texas. Whether it is securing direct flights, protecting military assets, or ensuring our city has a seat at the table, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how advocacy fuels economic development.
If you care about the future of San Antonio, this conversation explains why showing up matters.
