Chamber of Commerce: Your key to success in 2023
Even just a few weeks into 2023, the Catoosa County Chamber of Commerce is at the beginning of the most impactful year yet.
The Chamber calendar is full of networking events, ribbon cuttings and groundbreakings, and unique ways to connect with our community. Chamber events include Chamber Luncheons, Catoosa Women’s Network Luncheons, Cards & Coffee events, Leads Groups weekly meetings, the Shop Local Breakfast, and FOUR signature annual events. The Celebrate Catoosa Gala and Casino Night will be held at The Colonnade on March 4th. The Catoosa Golf Classic is being held at Windstone Golf Club on May 9th. The Catoosa County Run, White & Blue 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run will be held on July 1st at the Benton Place Campus. The Showcase Catoosa Business Expo will be held on November 9th at The Colonnade. We welcome the Catoosa County community to come out and take part in each of these events. Information about Chamber events and programs is
available on our website, catoosaconnects.com, or our social media pages.
After adding 76 new Chamber members last year, our goal is to reach 500 members in 2023, and better help them market their services or products through our talented staff, including a full-time Public Relations Manager whose mission is to help promote Chamber member businesses online on all social media
platforms, in email newsletters, and in print media. We hope you will like and share our Chamber posts and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter at @catoosaconnects. Help us promote our Catoosa County businesses with your positive reviews and referrals! We’d love to connect with you and help your business. Call us at 706-965-5201.
