Chamber Announces Business-to-Community Expo

By Sara Ray, Douglas County Chamber

Spring is here, which means it’s time for the Douglas County Chamber’s Business-to-Community Expo at Arbor Place Mall. The Expo is presented by West Georgia Technical College and will be held inside Arbor Place Mall on Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is free to attend and open to the community. In addition to the many businesses in Arbor Place Mall, more than 50 other local businesses are expected to be on hand to showcase their products and services.

Need financial advice? Want to know more about energy savings? Going back to school? Need a new roof or deck? Looking to volunteer your time to a local charity? Or, perhaps you want to make sure you are getting the best deal on your auto or home owners insurance? Attendees will be able to have their blood pressure tested, and health screenings at the WellStar Wellness Wing.  Meet local medical professionals, therapists, and even learn a tip or two for living a healthier lifestyle.

“The Douglas County Chamber proudly supports and promotes over 600 local businesses on a daily basis, and the Expo is an incredible way for us to take that level of support and community involvement to the next level,” explained Kali Boatright, Chamber president and CEO.

“Many residents of Douglas County and the surrounding regions commute into Atlanta and beyond, and they aren’t aware of the thriving business community that we have right here in Douglas County. We intentionally hold the Expo on a Saturday so that the community has an opportunity to come out and get to know our local business owners and community organizations.” For more information on the Expo or to reserve an exhibit space, please contact the Chamber at 770-942-5022 or visit www.douglascountygeorgia.com.
