This holiday season is unlike any other - to cap off a year unlike any other. Throughout this season, and as we move into a new (and hopefully better) year, the Chamber wishes you and your businesses moments of peace amid the difficulties. We hope that the connections with family and friends even if they can’t be in person and the glimpses of an economic rebound on the horizon this holiday season brings you joy. As 2020 comes to a close, our thoughts turn gratefully to our members, volunteers, and dedicated staff that have held the line as we navigated a tumultuous year. Thank you for your continued support. Happy holidays and wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.

At the Savannah Chamber’s Business Breakfast last week, the business community came together to honor two community champions for their legacies of philanthropy and leadership with the prestigious Oglethorpe Award.
This year the Oglethorpe Award was presented to the late Richard D. Eckburg, philanthropist and Patrick C. Monahan, City of Savannah.
This award is named for General James Edward Oglethorpe, a humanitarian, leader, and visionary who led 120 colonists in founding Savannah and the colony of Georgia in 1733, for their legacy of philanthropy and leadership.
