Membership Luncheon - AUGUST 2023
Description
Membership luncheons are a great way to connect with other members and get updated information about what is happening in the Chamber.
Join us during our August luncheon when we'll hear from Rob Matwick, Executive Vice President of Business Operations for the Texas Rangers Baseball team.
About the Speaker
Rob Matwick has been part of the Rangers organization since June 2008 when he joined the team as Executive Vice President of Ballpark Operations. In 2014, he was promoted to his current role as Executive Vice President of Business Operations.
Rob is in his 38th season in Major League Baseball. Previously, Matwick spent more than 21 years with the Houston Astros, and was instrumental in many aspects of the construction of Minute Maid Park.
Prior to returning to the state of Texas, he was named Vice President of Communications for the Detroit Tigers in January of 2007. The following year, he added oversight of the ticket sales department for the Tigers and oversaw both areas until joining the Rangers in 2008.
Matwick was the organization’s primary liaison with the City of Arlington on the construction of Globe Life Field, worked on the club’s negotiation of a Master Agreement with the City, and the “Vote Yes!” campaign, which resulted in citizen approval of ballot language for the ballpark project by a 60-40 margin.
In 2014, Matwick led the team in discussions with the Cordish Companies, a world class development firm based in Baltimore. By the close of 2015, the Rangers, Cordish Companies and City of Arlington reached agreement on a $250 million dollar public-private partnership which led to the successful opening of Texas Live! in August of 2018, and the Live! by Loews Hotel in August of 2019. Most recently, Rob worked with the City and the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce on the successful campaign which will bring the National Medal of Honor Museum to the Entertainment District in 2024.
Matwick is the current Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau, and serves on the Boards of the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce, the Arlington Entertainment Area Management District and the North Texas Commission.
