We are excited to welcome Schertz EDC Deputy Executive Director Amy Madison to Team Schertz! 👏 ⭐
🎉 The City of Schertz Economic Development Corporation is proud to announce the hiring of Amy Madison as the City’s Deputy Executive Director. Amy Madison has had a stellar career, serving over 26 years in the economic development profession in Texas and Oklahoma. Her collective efforts during the past decade as Executive Director of the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation led to the recruitment or expansion of 76 projects, 9.1 million square feet of development, and the announcement of 7,015 new full-time jobs, prompting the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce to award her the Lifetime Achievement Award in February. Prior to Pflugerville, Amy served six years as CEO of the Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP), a quasi-public economic development organization serving Hays-Caldwell counties and seven cities. Madison helped found the GSMP by successfully steering a $4 million campaign to implement a five-year strategic economic development plan for the region. She returns to the City of Schertz, having previously served in three positions between January 2001 and November 2006: Public Information Officer, Community Development Director, and Economic Development Director. During her prior tenure with Schertz, Madison helped usher in a 50-year water supply, establish a new industrial park, and assisted in recruiting companies, resulting in a 77 percent city tax base increase over her tenure. She currently serves as a board member for the International Economic Development Council, the Industrial Asset Management Council, and is a member of the Texas Economic Development Council. In addition to holding a bachelor’s degree from Phillips University and a master’s degree from Oklahoma University, she has obtained certifications as an Economic Development Professional (CEcD), Economic Development Finance Professional (EDFP), Certified Public Manager (CPM), and Economic Development Master Practitioner (EDMP). Amy is a proud resident of the region, and we ask that everyone join us in welcoming her to our Schertz family! 😃 🎉
