From the President's Desk
Welcome to the Henry County Chamber. It wasn’t too long ago that someone said those exact words to me.
As a catalyst for business growth, we provide numerous programs and resources to businesses and business leaders that support the businesses and create the jobs that strengthen the region.
The Chamber is a convener of business leaders and community influencers. We leverage the scale and diversity of our entire region. We foster a culture of collaboration to address challenges, create solutions, and enhance our community.
It requires a champion to defend business values and make bold steps forward on important business matters. Our advocacy efforts continue at all levels of government as we promote policies supporting job creation, business retention, and economic growth.
#MyHenryChamber: More than a membership; it’s a partnership.

Melissa Malcom
We have heard best practices for utilizing Social Media to promote our business through the many types of web-based portals and we have learned how and when to respond to negative feedback on Social Media. The third piece of this series will educate on Privacy Policies and the Can-Spam Act. We will also hear about avoiding the National Labor Relations Board and the magic language influencers needed in order to legally keep affiliate commissions on product and services they recommend. If this sounds like a mouth-full, then you most definitely need to attend our March Business Boosters Luncheon where Melissa Malcom will breakdown the legal aspect of Social Media, into an easy to understand presentation.
