Greetings!
This year has been unusual indeed. We have all been given the opportunity to become proficient in virtual meetings and have enjoyed more time at home than usual. We hope you will join us next year for virtual networking events and hopefully we will also have the chance to meet up face to face.
We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces at our (Virtual) Annual Meeting and Holiday Happy Hour earlier this month. Cecilia Lif, Trade Counselor at the Swedish Embassy in Washington, gave us a year in review and we spent time doing some virtual networking as well.
We hope you will join us for our SACC trivia event next year. The other SACC chambers participating in this fun event are SACC Texas, The Carolinas and Chicago. Our members have told us that they appreciate these type of collaborative events and they provide an opportunity to make connections with SACC members across the country.
Best Regards,
Ida Pond
Executive Director SACC GA
