Gamechangers Award Luncheon

Description

A primary objective of the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce is to help foster leadership for this community now and for the future. With this initiative we aim to raise the profile of young leaders in the community that are helping develop a better Athens.

Join us at the 2nd Annual Gamechangers luncheon where we will recognize 10 community leaders under the age of 40. We accepted community nominations for those young people who lead by example and collaboratively seek to implement a bright vision for the community.
