The Georgia Chamber recently launched its new website - a more dynamic source of information that also includes new tools for members. One of the most exciting components of the website is the new “Members Only” portal!
Members now have the ability to update personal contact information, register for upcoming events and renew dues. Throughout the next few months, other member-only features will be added to this portion of the website.
All members should have already received an email providing a temporary username and password; however, please contact Rebecca Jones at rjones@gachamber.com with any questions.
