JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR MCALLEN CC LET'S MEJIA GO

(Ed.'s Note: MCALLLEN - Josh Mejia, Executive Director of the McAllen Chamber of Commerce, confirmed Friday that he and the chamber are parting ways, and expects that an announcement will be issued as soon as next week. Mejia was named Chamber CEO June 2022.
 
Before that, he served as CEO and Executive Director of the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation. He is currently a board member of the International Economical Development Council in Washington D.C. and says he will focus on serving there and devote more time to family.

Although he would not be specific on the reasons for the separation, Mejia said that apparently the Chamber felt he had completed the job of restructuring the foundations of the organization to improve its presence on local, national and international levels.

Other versions of the separation say that Mejia was not allowed to address the Governor’s Small Business summit Thursday in McAllen where Texas Gov. Greg Abbott addressed business leaders which he had coordinated and he was miffed at the slight and agreed to part ways.

Everybody knows McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos is the city's economic driving force. This guy was just a chamber minion. No loss at all.

Mejia is so full of it. The board did not think he had completed his work. They were willing to pay out his contract to let him go because he was terrible and did nothing of what he said. Que no te pique los ojos Montoya.

What does the Chamber of Commerce do for Brownsville?

Do they know the owners of all the local vendors downtown?
Do they have meetings with the downtown businesses?
Do they touch base with the City of Brownsville to promote downtown?


They have programs, workshops, meetings with new businesses, but what do they really do for Brownsville.

Does the Chamber of Commerce have a website listing all the local businesses?

The guy was worthless at BCIC. The only thing he did was know how to kiss ass. McAllen folks saw right through his act and threw the trash out quickly.

mejia was way over his head here in Brownsville. he never had a chance in McAllen!

He got fired because he got caught having an affair with a subordinate and refused to end the relationship. Bought her jewelry and lavish gifts. He event went and got a new car to match hers. He also got caught lying on his resume. He has no college degree and no real work experience outside of BCIC. Nice try leaking this article to save face, Josh. The lies are finally catching up to you.

He wasn’t allowed to speak at Thursday’s event because the City doesn’t want to be associated with a predator…

does running the budget into the ground, sleeping with staff, and burning bridges count as restructuring the organization? what about the fact that he was getting money from the mcallen development corp for utrgv while also getting paid to do consulting for utrgv at the same time?!?

(Mental help) KUDOS to you for your input. Vigorous debate and constructive criticism regarding pertinent issues affecting our citizens in the RGV is encouraged. The pompous, infantile verbiage that is continuously spewed, serves no purpose. Leave your massive egos at the internet door. Offer solutions. Let's engage in a higher level of dialogue.

Our local chamber of commerce is a fking joke. If they had any character and integrity they would of stepped up about the Tenaska fraud. I'm sure that fraud it ruined certain business.

You sure this has nothing to with the fact that he lied about his college education? The RGV’s George Santos. Claiming to have multiple degrees and experience consulting with NASA and UT Austin.

This dude lied to me personally and told me he was leaving Brownsville to move to Utah to be closer and more engaged with the Mormon church! Wow, i'm almost positive this guy is a low-end conartist.

So now Brownsville leaders are sending some of their crap to McAllen?

The moment Annette Franz assumed the chair of the board, the Chamber was plunged into chaos. It was her whim that forced the search for a new CEO, and in her ever present misplaced judgment, she brought Josh into the fold. But he wasn’t a savior; he was a ticking time bomb. A grifter with a silver tongue, Josh wreaked havoc within the Chamber. The board, without Annette Franz at the helm, recognized the danger and ousted him.
