Until We Can UnMask Again, Member Economic Series Postponed
The Augusta Metro Chamber made the difficult decision to postpone the Member Economic Series featuring the 2020 Top 10 in 10 Young Professionals to Watch on Tuesday, July 28th.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you will be able to join us at a TBD future date. As you are aware, the Mayor issued a mask ordinance for the City of Augusta, and we do not feel it is appropriate to honor our Top 10 in 10 recipients at a masked event. Furthermore, the safety and health of our members is our utmost concern, and we feel the risk is too great, at this point. We appreciate your understanding during this time and value your continued support.
