The Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce has its November First Friday Luncheon set for Friday, Nov. 6 at noon at Crown Colony Country Club, and the program is a look at who’s working in Deep East Texas and who isn’t.
Dr. Ty Cauthen of Workforce Solutions Deep East Texas — American Job Center Network is giving what the chamber calls a strategic update on the region’s workforce and economic infrastructure: the openings, the gaps, and the programs meant to close them. For a business owner who has spent the last year trying to fill a position, that’s the hour to sit through.
Lufkin Coca Cola Bottling Company is presenting the luncheon. Servpro of Lufkin & Nacogdoches is putting up $100 for a drawing among the people in the room. The chamber asks that you register ahead so it has a head count.

Advertising is open to chamber investors only, and the deadline to reserve a spot or update an existing listing in the 2027 edition is Nov. 6 — the same day as the luncheon. The contact is admin@LufkinTexas.org.
Chamber investors who want the flyer and contract can get both from the chamber office.
