What Our Members Say About the Georgia Chamber...
Woodard & Curran, Duluth: "Joining the Georgia Chamber has been beneficial. It has helped the firm become an even bigger part of the community. It's about service to the community, that is what community reinvestment is about - supporting local industry - and we want to become a thread in the fabric here." Paul Adams, Vice President
Savannah Luggage Works, Vidalia: " The reason I joined the Georgia Chamber of Commerce is real simple. The Georgia Chamber does one thing and one thing only; they represent, particularly at the state legislative level, the interest of Georgia business. I am convinced that if it were not for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Georgia would be all but uninhabitable for businesses, much like the business climate in Alabama and Mississippi. We must have a strong Georgia Chamber of Commerce. To do otherwise, is to put Georgia businesses at serious risk." Allen Rice, President

Randy Lewis, Managing Director
Anatek, Inc., Marietta: "It is important to me to be a member of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, because like most small business owners, I do not have time to lobby the legislators.
