Good Things Happen Here


See Ya Later, Libby and Anna Kate!



Help us wish a “see ya later” to our AWESOME high school interns, Libby Mathis & Anna Kate Robinson. Libby served as our Work Based Learning student for two years and Anna Kate completed her ISP this past spring and continued to stick around this summer. If any of you called, visited or attended a chamber event you probably were assisted by these ladies. They became such an asset to our building and we will miss them tons! They both will be starting their next chapter at the University of Georgia in the coming week.

Businesses, If you are looking for an extra set of hands we have some awesome programs within our schools that can help fill those spots! Give us a call and we can fill you in!



Winning Through Customer Service



A BIG thank you to Washington County Chamber of Commerce Sandersville Georgia for helping us put together a very successful Winning Through Customer Service Program yesterday in Sandersville!

One of our UGA Small Business Development Center in Augusta Business Consultants, Rebecca Mixson, led a great session on how important good customer service is for your business and what that looks like for you as the business owner and your employees!

Prepare Now for Summer Severe Weather!

Summer is here and that means we’re in for some hot, sometimes unpredictable weather! Are you ready for the severe rainstorms? It may be time to take a good look at your homeowners insurance and make sure you are covered for the unexpected!

Also, now that we’re in the hottest times of the year, we are using our HVAC systems more and more. Now is a good time to clean your system’s ductwork and make sure it is free of debris and contaminants to help your unit run more efficiently and also, help you breathe easier!

Each year, our local SERVPRO professionals respond to scenes of weather-related mayhem, helping families and business owners recover from flooding, fire, wind damage and so much more. If severe weather does happen, we’re always here to help!
