Message from the CEO:
Moving Macon-Bibb Forward in 2021
The Greater Macon Chamber's mission has been and will remain, to advocate for all of our members and the business community in building and sustaining a prosperous economy. To fulfill our mission, we must work collaboratively with other Macon-Bibb entities to accelerate opportunity in our community and create prosperity for all. Working with One Macon and Mayor Miller’s Macon-Bibb Forward strategic plan will enhance our ability to collectively grow workforce and attract talent, increase business growth and profitability, and enhance Macon’s preference as a community for investment and livability through community revitalization.

The Chamber is excited about the future of Macon-Bibb; Working alongside visionary community leaders to create a better tomorrow for our members, businesses and Maconites. We appreciate our members and will continue to need your support, input, and guidance moving forward.

Please take a look at our major accomplishments from 2020. Let's continue this progress in 2021!
