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

Inaugural Women's EmPOWERment Summit hits every mark on a day dedicated to helping women live life better and longer
.png)
The inaugural Henry County Women's EmPOWERment Summit delivered on its theme and mission to educate, empower and engage the women of Henry County. Beginning with the empowering charge made by keynote speaker Ann Cramer — to practice paradox, syzigy, and ikigai for a fuller, more meaningful life — the day soared. In addition to a delectable and sustaining breakfast and lunch, the fruit infused water kept every one hydrated as the speakers quenched a thirst for the relaxation of yoga, energy boosting line dancing and the insights of women who shared freely of their life experiences and expertise. Many took advantage of the spirit uplifting services of the PBG Headshot Lounge for a beautiful professional photo. It was a lovely near Spring day filled with sessions that were interesting, inspirational and educational to an audience who were all thanks, smiles and hugs for the presenters and each other. For a pictorial look back at the entire day, please click to View Photo Gallery.
