I have gotten some business that I would have probably never gotten if it was not for the Chamber. As a black female-owned business downtown and UGA alumni, I could not ask for a better place to be. I only wish that every small business owner could experience the care that my Chamber gives to me! -Quittis Smith-Luna, President & CEO, Northeast Georgia Temporary Services The Chamber does a great job of connecting people so businesses like ours are more aware of opportunities within the city to connect and serve. I cannot think of another organization that represents our community as a whole and speaks closer to the Athens vernacular.” - Terrapin Beer Co .

With weekly networking opportunities and fantastic events, they offer fun ways for everyone to stay connected.
