From the Chairman of the Board
To say that 2020 has been a challenging year doesn’t come close to showing the level of struggle, anxiety, and frustration we have all faced. Since March of 2020, the Chamber has worked tirelessly to support our members and the community. We shifted not only our resources to connect with you individually, try to understand how each of you was impacted financially but the Chamber held strong and also had an entirely new staff hired during one of the more uncertain times in the business community.
Our new staff members, who many of you have met, showed me their worth in the first few months of working together. I am so proud of the bond that they have already created and am excited to remain a President’s Circle member because of the impact I know they will bring. They have brought some exciting new changes to Chamber programming, a new look to our Quarterly Commerce magazine and have already built relationships with businesses and community members throughout Eatonton-Putnam County to better serve you and those visiting.
As a Chamber Board, we are also business leaders in the community that we all live, work, and play in. With that being said, we recognize that our effectiveness is not us telling you what you need, but rather you telling us, so please engage with the staff! The door is always open at the Chamber and we want to hear from you about what is important to your business and how we can help!
As I move forward in my final term as Chairman of the Board, I would like to thank the Eatonton-Putnam County business community for trusting me with this honor. In addition, it has been a great joy to work alongside Roddie Anne Blackwell and learn from her as an influential businesswoman, but also be part of the Board who was able to hire an entirely new staff for the future of the Chamber. I have been so fortunate to serve on the Board of Directors for the last three years and look forward to the growth of the Eatonton-Putnam Chamber of Commerce!
