2020 was a historical and unusual year for SACC GA as well as for the rest of the world. We conducted most of our board meetings and membership events online. We found a great opportunity in collaborating with other SACC regional chambers for virtual webinars as well as networking events. We plan on continuing working together with other SACC regional chambers this year and our first collaboration is a Virtual Trivia and Networking on February 11. Our members who attended our collaborative events last year found them useful in making connections across the SACC network.
We love it when we get an opportunity to visit our members and tour their offices. This year we will likely meet virtually but we feel it is as important as ever to share our member success stories. Many of our members have found ways to continue to thrive and we love sharing these successes in member promo videos and member interviews. We are delighted to see that there is so much interest in reading about the achievements and accomplishments of other members. In 2021 we plan on continuing to share our members' triumphs through interviews and promo videos. We are off to a great start and we have met with Petter Bengtsson from Sinch and Dan Erling from Accountants One already this year. It is wonderful to hear about all the great things our members are involved with.
Best Regards,
Ida Pond
Executive Director SACC GA
