As the Membership Appreciation Luncheon is approaching, we
celebrate the amazing businesses that make up Greater Hattiesburg
and further the success of the Area Development Partnership.
From small, family-owned businesses to international companies,
Greater Hattiesburg encompasses an exciting and growing business
community.
As Chair of the Area Development Partnership, I want to invite you
to take advantage of your membership. Come to the events, make chad driskell
the most of your time by networking with fellow members, and utilize Chair
the free advertising opportunities we provide. Encourage people
that you know to get involved. Membership with the Area Development Partnership is much
more than a listing on our website, it is an investment in our community and with that, the
quality of life here in Greater Hattiesburg continues to flourish. Thank you for your partnership,

from the president
With summer here, things are heating up at the ADP! Our economic
development team is doing amazing things as we continue to lead
the State of Mississippi in job growth and the chamber continues to
implement stellar programs and services to strengthen our member
businesses. Many thanks to you, our members, for providing us with
the financial resources to achieve great results. The ADP exists to
foster an environment that leads to economic prosperity and an
enhanced quality of life here in Greater Hattiesburg. Chad newell
We are pleased to welcome U.S. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith President
to Hattiesburg July 12th for our ADP Membership Appreciation
Luncheon. We will thank and honor our members and enjoy hearing from our newest
Senator. We will also be unveiling our 2019 ADP Annual Meeting speaker for the December
6th event. The Membership Appreciation Luncheon will be a fabulous program, so please
make plans to join us!
The more you get involved, the more you will become excited about this wonderful
community and you will have chances to be engaged with other leading businesses here
in the Burg! As I go out and about throughout the region, I enjoy seeing the ADP member
stickers in windows around town. That tells me that you are a card-carrying member of the
chamber of commerce and that you want your business to be active in the region. ADP
members should be doing business with other ADP members. I trust that it is a consideration
for your business as you engage other vendors around town. If you know of family members,
friends, or colleagues who could benefit from membership, please get them on board with
us and we will provide you with a $100 gift card to a member restaurant or retailer. Please
contact Ann Scott Miles at a.miles@theADP.com for all the details.
Thanks so much to our ADP Board of Directors for their leadership in helping our organization
prosper and a special thanks to our ADP Executive Committee for all the volunteer hours in
making sure that we have the financial resources to continue to offer first-class chamber of
commerce and economic development programs and services. These Executive Committee
members meet monthly in overseeing and guiding our staff. They ensure that we are good
stewards of the private and public funds invested. Your organization is in good hands with a
seasoned staff and superb Board of Directors. Please call on us directly if we can ever be of
additional service to you or your business.

MEET CINDY HYDE-SMITH
A Q & A with the Senator
ADP: What is the most fulfilling aspect
of your role as a U.S. Senator?
First of all, it is a great privilege and honor to
represent the people of Mississippi in the United
States Senate, and I am working hard to fulfill the
trust placed in me.
As a United States Senator, it’s my job to help
ensure the new generation of Mississippians will
operate in an environment that encourages risk
taking, rewards innovative thinking, and breeds
entrepreneurship – an environment that is, in its very essence, American. Technology and innovation fuel
economic growth, advance health, and promote public safety. As a member of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, I get to see a particularly interesting side of our federal government’s priority setting on where to
put our tax dollars to move the country forward. This work has given me a clearer understanding of the unique
economic opportunities that the aerospace industry in particular, including defense aerospace and the
growing unmanned aerial systems field, presents for this region.
I find it fulfilling to be able to ensure our interests are taken into account as the Senate debates national issues,
like the budget, disaster relief, health care, or agriculture policies. It’s a challenge, but there’s satisfaction in
finding a policy or law that needs fixing, and then going at it, step by step, to make those changes so Mississippi
will benefit. That’s what I’m trying to do now to improve flood control in our state.
I also find it very gratifying to have veterans, parents, and even children come to me for help. I want all
Mississippians to know they have someone in Washington who will listen to them and do everything possible to
help them.
What advice do you have for business
professionals aspiring to enter politics?
Jump right in. If you believe you can contribute to
improving the lives of your fellow citizens, then get
involved. Public office isn’t, and shouldn’t be, primarily
reserved for lawyers and political science majors. I don’t
fit that stereotype. My husband Mike and I are small
business owners. I am a woman and mother. These
characteristics allow me to bring different perspectives to
the table. I think a variety of views, including those from
the business sector, improve the process of governing at
the federal, state, and local levels.
The fact is that we’re all affected by political decisions made every day. It seems to me that we should all
take part in the process. This includes registering to vote, helping someone you respect to campaign for
public office, and making sure they do a good job once elected. It is our right and our duty as Americans to
participate in the democratic process. If we are to be good citizens, we need to be informed and work to
influence the political life of our communities and our state.
PAGE 6
What do you see as the most challenging issues the country faces today?
Maintaining our strong national defense and securing the homeland are challenges that demand consistent
vigilance and a willingness to ensure resources are dedicated to protecting the American people and their
interests. A broken immigration system and a health care system weighed down by Obamacare are among
the leading challenges facing the United States. I am also troubled by the hyper-partisanship in our national
political discourse. We’ve got to find a way to work together as Americans to address the problems that
demand attention. With each passing day, technological know-how grows increasingly vital in our efforts
to maintain a strong economy, healthy population, and safe borders, streets, and schools. Our ability to
successfully advance technology and innovation will, more than any other single factor, determine our nation’s
future as we compete with emergent technological powers like China.
Where do you hope to see Mississippi in the next 10 years?
As I mentioned, Mississippi has so much potential, and recent job growth and an improving quality of life are
not happening by accident. Mississippi needs continued economic growth and job creation, and it starts in
each local community. Every municipality and organization in our state brings something unique and valuable
to this effort. Whether it be research, workforce training, infrastructure, recreation, or simply citizens who get up
and go to work every day, we’re all in this together.
Over the next decade, I’d love to see us maximize our potential as a leader in unmanned aerial systems and
high-performance computing. We can continue to build on our contributions to the defense, aerospace,
automotive, and other manufacturing sectors. I always want to see our farmers and ranchers producing more
food and fiber to offer the world, and that includes Mississippi’s abundant timber resources. I also would like to
see stronger rural communities that are full partners and participants in the growth of our state. In this and all
other issues that come before the Senate, I can assure you that I will do my best to make the right decisions for
the people of Mississippi.
The bottom line is that all of us can, and should, work to improve the quality of life of all Mississippians, so that
each of us has the ability to work and raise a family in our great state.

2019 Class Projects Selected
The Leadership Pinebelt program focuses on educating emerging leaders
about Greater Hattiesburg, with emphasis being placed on the area’s
strengths and critical needs. While community involvement resides at the
forefront of the program, the need to sharpen and enhance class members’
leadership skills has been essential to the program’s ongoing success.
Each class is challenged to collaborate in small groups, as they identify
needs and create solutions for opportunities that can positively affect the
region. The intensive nature and strong community focus on the program
mold each class into becoming more effective leaders and better community stewards, as well as strong assets
to their respective employers. The 2019 community projects were recently unveiled at the Accelerate Breakfast.
