Chamber 101: Maximizing Your Chamber Investment was a complete success this morning! New and existing members took part in this event to learn how to maximize their Chamber membership and how the Chamber impacts the community.
Thank you to Lauren Sobala, owner of Mattress By Appointment Brunswick and a leader in our Chamber Ambassador program for coming and sharing her experience with the Chamber as a local business owner.
If you are an existing Chamber member and you want a Chamber refresh, you should consider attending a Chamber 101 event.

COMMUNITY CLEAN SWEEP AWARDS PRESENTED
Five local businesses and organizations have been recognized for their efforts in maintaining clean and attractive premises: GLYNN EYE CARE and ST. ANDREWS CME CHURCH received “Clean Sweep” awards for the fourth quarter of 2021; INDIGO COASTAL SHANTY and UGA MARINE EXTENSION & GEORGIA SEA GRANT (Brunswick Station) were each honored with 5-year distinctions; and EPWORTH BY THE SEA received the Clean Sweep 10-year award.
These businesses maintain clean and green properties in heavily traveled areas, removing litter left behind by others. Clean Sweep awards are presented quarterly by Keep Golden Isles Beautiful and Isles Chamber of Commerce and the Brunswick News.
A seven-member panel of community members selects the honorees based on their contribution to keeping the Golden Isles cleaner and greener.
