  • Program 1 [2020]

    DUE TO THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE GEORGIA CHAMBER WAS FORCED TO RESHAPE ITS EFFORTS FOR THE YEAR OF 2020. THE INITIAL PLAN WAS FOR 2020 TO BE A CONTINUATION OF THE EFFORTS BEGUN IN 2019 WITH PROGRAMMING INCLUDING OUR INAUGURAL ANNUAL EGGS AND ISSUES BREAKFAST, CONGRESSIONAL LUNCHEON, AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE EMPOWERING SERIES FOR GEORGIA'S LEADING INNOVATORS CALLED THE NEW GEORGIA ECONOMY PROGRAMMING. HOWEVER, AS COVID-19 RAGED, THE GEORGIA CHAMBER REFOCUSED EFFORTS TO PROVIDE UP-TO-DATE PANDEMIC-RELATED INFORMATION TO MEMBERS, AND BUSINESSES ACROSS GEORGIA. EXTENSIVE EFFORT WAS PLACED ON ENSURING THAT ALL SIZES OF BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE STATE HAD ACCESS TO RESOURCES TO, HOPEFULLY, ENABLE THEM TO SURVIVE THROUGH THE COVID-19 SHUT DOWN.THE CHAMBER WORKED CLOSELY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE OFFICIALS TO COMMUNICATE INFORMATION REGARDING CRITICAL INDUSTRY OPERATION GUIDELINES, AND THE LATEST UPDATES FROM THE U.S. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. THE CHAMBER COMPLETELY SHIFTED FROM IN-PERSON EVENTS TO ALL VIRTUAL EVENTS AND ESTABLISHED A VIDEO PRODUCTION STUDIO TO PROVIDE CONTENT TO MEMBERS IN A SAFE FORMAT. CHAMBER STAFF FOCUSED EFFORTS ON EXTERNAL OUTREACH TO ALL MEMBERS, MAKING NEARLY 30,000 CONTACTS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES AS WELL AS MORAL SUPPORT TO THESE BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS. THE CHAMBER OFFERED SIX-MONTH COURTESY MEMBERSHIP EXTENSIONS FOR THOSE MEMBERS WHO WERE NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO RENEW IN ORDER TO CONTINUE THEIR ACCESS TO CRITICAL INFORMATION BEING MADE AVAILABLE.THE OUTREACH DESCRIBED ABOVE GARNERED APPROXIMATELY 1.2 BILLION MEDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA READERSHIP CONTACTS AND SPANNED ACROSS FOUR CONTINENTS. THAT IS ROUGHLY A THREE-FOLD INCREASE OVER THE PRIOR YEAR. IN ADDITION TO THE OUTREACH AND RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, THE GEORGIA CHAMBER LEAD STATE EFFORTS TO ADOPT COVID-19 LIABILITY PROTECTION LEGISLATION AS WELL AS SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO ADOPT HATE CRIMES LEGISLATION IN THE STATE.
