Message From the President
The Chamber takes a leadership role in actively bringing together the collective visioning of the business community, elected officials, infrastructure organizations and key civic and business leaders by facilitating an annual Intergovernmental Retreat to foster cooperation and understanding on shared topics of vital concern to the growth and development of Henry County.
Henry County is located “Comfortably south of Atlanta,” with only a 20-minute access to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the ability to arrive at locations in either Atlanta or Macon in an hour’s time, or to make the 3 and 1/2 hour trek all the way to the coast. Its seven exits along Interstate 75 afford easy access to member businesses, recreation, dining and lodging.
The Chamber’s 700 business members range from large corporations to locally-owned and operated entities. Each member is both vital and valued and the Chamber promotes the “Shop Local – Shop Henry” program.
The largest sporting venue in the state, Atlanta Motor Speedway, is located in Henry County. Our residents enjoy a premier hospital and healthcare specialists, as well as excellent educational facilities. There are numerous recreational opportunities. The Chamber website offers valuable information on living, working and visiting our county.
We hope you will visit often – or join us!
David H. Gill, President & CEO

1709 Highway 20 West, McDonough, GATopic: An Introvert’s Guide to Networking
Speaker: Alisa KirkDo you ever go to a networking event where there are people who seem fearless? These people approach others, always know the right thing to say, and seem to know most of the people in the room. The truth is, these people are probably introverts. They circulate and say the right things because they’ve worked on it: they know their strategy entering the room, and they know what they want to happen. They have honed their skills and learned the secrets to great networking. It’s time for you to learn them, too.
If you think your networking efforts could use improvement, then you do not want to miss the May 17 Business Boosters Luncheon. Alisa Kirk, Area Director, UGA SBDC at Clayton State University will be sharing her networking knowledge and experience with us.In this luncheon you will:
