BIG NEWS! It is an honor to be recognized by others for innovative programming. It is a particularly great honor to be recognized by your peers! The Forsyth County Chamber of Commercer was recently presented an “Emerge Grant” for One Forsyth’s “Inclusion Incubator.” The grant was presented by the Georgia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (GACCE) in partnership with Georgia Power Company as part of the “Emerge Task Force” for Chambers around Georgia to help fund new, innovative programs. The Forsyth County Chamber was one of only four Chambers in Georgia to receive the grant. We are joined by other stellar chambers for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration: Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, and the Toccoa-Stephens County Chamber of Commerce. The “Inclusion Incubator” is coming up on August 22! If you are looking for new ways to recruit and retain great talent – the inclusion incubator will give you some excellent tools to do just that! If you can attend in person (and you do not need to be in our area – just interested in finding new ways to recruit and retain talent – you can join us via live stream).
