Frequently Asked Questions

The Georgia Chamber of Commerce serves as a fierce advocate for the business community at the state and federal levels. It offers strategic guidance, advocacy, and a range of resources aimed at promoting growth, prosperity, and competitiveness among Georgia's businesses. By facilitating networking opportunities, providing valuable insights, and championing policy that supports the business environment, the Chamber works to ensure that Georgia remains a leading state for business.

While the state and local chambers are similar in name, they serve separate purposes that promote and support each other without duplication or conflict. The Georgia Chamber’s number one goal is to aggressively lobby state and federal government on behalf of the statewide business community on issues that transcend regional boundaries and that impact a company’s bottom line, no matter their size, location, or industry.

A local Chamber of Commerce plays a vital role in the business community of a specific city or county. Focusing on the specific issues that impact their members helps them garner influence with locally elected officials. Local chambers also provide valuable services to their members through economic development and events that increase communication between businesses in the same community. The Georgia Chamber believes that all businesses should belong to their local Chamber of Commerce.
