- President - Texoma Industrial
- "Partnering with the Denison Development Alliance offered us the opportunity to consolidate our operations into a spacious facility. Texoma Industrial is extremely appreciative of the support and professionalism showed by the DDA staff and board as we have grown and diversified within our industry. The new facility will accommodate Texoma Industrial's growing operations in the coming years."

Eric Rothert
- Chief Executive Officer - Dialog Direct
- "As an outsource customer service provider, our core business focuses on delivering the ideal customer experience through customer service advisors who are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. It all starts with people. It is important for Dialog Direct to be able to have access to a labor market with the best candidates and this is a major consideration when choosing a new site. The fact that the high school graduation rate is 96%, makes it much more desirable than many major cities. The community understands the importance of business development and the Denison Development Alliance helped us every step of the way in becoming a proud part of the Denison community."

Brian Aspell
- VP of Manufacturing - Champion Cooler Corporation
- "It is with much pride that Champion Cooler Corporation has been a part of Denison since 1954 making us the oldest industry in Denison. Thanks to assistance from Denison Development we've been able to make several expansions and are now the national leader in the production of evaporative coolers. Being located on U.S. Highway 75, which is considered one of the nation's premier north/south trucking routes connecting Texas to the markets nationwide, has been one of the keys to our long-term success."

Charles & Jody Allen
- Owners - Knives of Alaska
- "Denison has much to offer its residents and visitors - from its wonderful public parks and covered pool to a nationally recognized hospital and exemplary public school system. All these things and more combine to make Denison a stand-out town with stand-out people who celebrate the art of living. Being able to enjoy the community and feel safe at the same time is definitely a winning combination."

Kellie M. Metzdorf
- Vice President, Client Advocacy - CIGNA
- "The incentives and level of support provided by the Denison Development Alliance were instrumental in CIGNA's decision to consolidate multiple area operational facilities into one state-of-the-art Service Center in the summer of 2007. With a workforce of 800+ in the Denison Service Center, providing call and claim service to 1.5 million medical customers and 3.4 million dental customers, staffing stability and minimal employee turnover are critical. The quality, work ethic, and level of professional commitment found in the available workforce in the Denison area truly differentiate the business culture and have a positive impact on organizational success."
