Do You Know Any Augustans Who Are Changing the World?

The Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce wants to identify Augustans, whether they are native-born or former longtime residents, who now live in other areas of the country where they are making positive changes to corporate America.

CEOs, Presidents of companies, VPs, elected officials, decision and policy makers, the Chamber is interested in any former Augustans you know who fits this bill. The AMCC is developing a program to encourage those in positions of prominence to demonstrate their hometown pride by reinvesting in their community and help pave the way for others.

For more information on this program, or to contribute someone to the growing list, please contact the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce at 821-1300.
