A Message from our CEO

Dear Members, With every Monday comes a new week full of promise and opportunity. Today is no exception yet how different and unfamiliar our last month of Mondays have been.  Most of us have experienced a disruption to daily routines and professional productivity. Some have been able to stay the course but relied heavily on clients keeping their end of the transactional bargain. Bottom line, we have all been impacted by the global health crisis.  So, in the spirit of Monday, I have promising news--Georgia is opening! I encourage you to get in a state of readiness. This week is pivotal in terms of positioning your business well for success. Only you can determine what you focus on and the Alpharetta Chamber will support your efforts.    Let me highlight a great opportunity—this Friday, May 1 @ 1:00 PM we are hosting a virtual event called Ready, Set, OPEN!  A Smart Conversation About Recovery . An all-star panel will discuss everything you need to know about reopening and recovering business in Alpharetta.
