Thank you for visiting the virtual home of the Henry County Chamber. Our strength, our success, is the result of the collaborative nature built with our elected officials, community partners, volunteer leaders, and (perhaps most importantly) our members.
As a catalyst for business growth, a convener of business leaders and community influencers, and a champion to defend business values, our efforts promote policies supporting job creation, business retention, and economic growth.
I encourage you to check out the services and activities we provide to help improve our region. On behalf of ACCE's 2022 Chamber of the Year, I hope you will join us in our mission. Please reach out to one of our team members below to learn how Chamber membership can work for you.
