We have a lot on our plates this year.

Business Development – with companies like Caterpillar and the new retail growth in the Epps Bridge area to promoting and developing the available parcels of prime real estate, we have in this county for new business interests.

Chamber renovation – with the much-needed upgrade to our facility to meet our growth needs and to project the professional appearance that is Oconee County.

Upgrades to the Chamber technology systems – giving us state of the art communication to our members as well as increasing the benefits that will be available for our members.

The Oconee 500 – the Chamber challenge to grow our membership to the next level and become 500 members strong.

As a board, we are committed to providing you with as many opportunities to network, grow and advance your business.
