TRISH DEBERRY-MEJIA

Editor's note: The following editorial content was submitted by the Trish DeBerry-Mejia campaign.

Small businesswoman Trish DeBerry-Mejia's decision to run for mayor evolved from her public service.  In addition to serving as president of Guerra DeBerry Coody Marketing & Communications, DeBerry-Mejia has been civically engaged. 

"For more than ten years I have been actively involved in civic organizations dedicated to improving San Antonio's quality of life.  Running for mayor was a natural evolution of my commitment to this city,” said DeBerry-Mejia.

Her leadership roles have included chairing the Children"s Museum; serving on the boards of the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Alliance, Rotary International, and as a founding member of the South Texas Hispanic Fund. Through that same ten year period, Trish also championed quality of life issues.  She  managed various public referendums, to include enhancing transportation funding;  guiding  school district, community college and municipal bond campaigns; and fighting so that small businesses can offer employees on-site childcare.

"My business partners and I decided to offer onsite childcare for our employees’ children.  Our facility, staffed by child development professionals, teaches children colors, days of the week, the alphabet and introduces them to Spanish,” said DeBerry-Mejia.  “Ultimately, we had to lobby the Legislature for permission to allow small businesses to host an onsite childcare facility.” 

In 2007, the Wall Street Journal named GDC one of the 15 Top Small businesses in the country - the only Texas business so honored that year.  “Given the current economy, City Hall could benefit from some practical belt-tightening business experience, and I have that,” said DeBerry-Mejia.
