Habersham Chamber Business Advocacy Activities

Advocacy is a major benefit of Chamber membership. Members have a voice in what the Chamber as a whole advocates for, and the Chamber represents its members through a member-elected board.

The Chamber also provides events and sessions for members to interact one on one with elected officials. Examples include a pre-legislative forum with elected officials prior to the General Assembly starting in January, a trip to the State Capitol in Atlanta during the session where all members are invited, post-legislative events for first-hand updates and more. Prior to primaries and major elections, the Chamber co-sponsors a political forum.

SPLOST: The Habersham County Chamber of Commerce supports the renewal of the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), a 1 percent sales tax for capital projects that improve the quality of life of our citizens and strengthen the economy for all.
