The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce is observing Trustees Appreciation Month in August, recognizing the contributions of its Trustees Council. The council consists of corporate CEOs and senior executives who offer strategic direction beyond that provided by the Chamber’s Board of Directors.

Their insight influences policy, drives economic growth, and strengthens Savannah’s business climate—benefiting every company and individual who calls our region home.”
