Cornerstone is a small but active group of member firms and organizations whose senior represen­tatives provide significant financial support and leadership for major Georgia Chamber projects and initiatives. To join at this level, a member must agree to an annual dues investment of $11,000 or more. New members join Cornerstone with the understanding that their dues the first year and in future years will be at least $11,000. Existing members agree to upgrade their future annual dues investment to a minimum of $11,000 (the upgrade takes place the first year).

A company or organization that has prospered because of Georgia's strong pro-business environment. Most realize that this favorable atmosphere did not "just happen." Many times, the Georgia Chamber stands alone in defending and supporting the pro-business position, and our track record for achieving victories in the Georgia Legislature and successes in economic development is legendary.
