Welcome Welcome
As we welcome the summer season, we're excited to kick off another great lineup of events and opportunities to connect, engage, and celebrate our community. We hope you'll join us for some of our favorite summer traditions, including the Altamaha Fishing Tournament, Bunco at the Big House, Hazlehurst Independence Day Celebration and newly announced Stingers & Strategies: Marketing Roundtable Discussion/Workshop. These events are a wonderful reminder of what makes Jeff Davis County such a special place to live, work, and do business.
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 program year, we invite you to complete our Annual Chamber Member Survey. Your feedback plays a vital role in helping us shape future programs, events, and initiatives that best serve our members and community.
Thank you for your continued membership, participation, and support throughout the 2025-2026 year. Because of engaged members like you, our Chamber continues to grow stronger, and we look forward to building on that momentum together in the year ahead.

We want to hear from you!
The University of Georgia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is partnering with the Carl Vinson Institute of Government to gather input from business owners and managers like you. We’re interested in understanding the current challenges you face and the resources you need to support and grow your business. Your responses will help us better serve you and ensure that SBDC provides the programs, services, and consulting that small businesses across Georgia need to succeed and prosper.
The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Your responses will be confidential, meaning findings will be reported as summaries so individual responses cannot be identified. We also encourage you to share this survey with fellow small business owners and managers in your network so we can gather as many perspectives as possible.
Thank you so much for your participation in this survey effort so that we can help Georgia’s small business community flourish and prosper.

Coastal Pines Technical College is doing a community needs assessment to evaluate programs they are offering as well as make plans for additional programs to fit the needs of our business community. We know that workforce is an issue, but to address those issues they need input from YOU!
Please use the link below to complete a SHORT survey to help them identify the gaps in programming. Please also forward this survey to any additional businesses you believe should contribute.
Again, I cannot stress enough the importance of your input as it will be used to plan courses offered in our area. Please take just a few moments now to complete the survey.
Thank you for your help!
