In this episode of Community Convener, we explore how leadership, community, and local opportunity intersect here in Henry County.
In our Community Dialogue segment, Christy Chewning of Central Georgia EMC leads an important conversation on “The Broken Rung.” Joined by Charles Moon, Vice President and Financial Inclusion Leader at Truist, and leadership speaker Elaine Robinson Beattie, the discussion explores one of the biggest barriers in leadership pipelines: the first promotion into management. Together, they examine how organizations evaluate potential, the difference between mentorship and sponsorship, and what leaders can do to create stronger pathways for emerging women leaders.
Next, we connect with Visit Henry Director of Tourism Laura Luker to talk about the growing impact of agritourism in Henry County and how farms, local experiences, and outdoor destinations are creating new opportunities for tourism and economic development across our community.
In our Member Minute, Membership Director Leonard Robinson sits down with January Ambassador of the Month Geni Reed of Ameris Bank to highlight the role our ambassadors play in welcoming and connecting businesses throughout the Chamber.
Plus, we wrap up with upcoming Chamber events and ribbon cuttings you won’t want to miss.
Whether you're a longtime member or a new face, this episode is all about strengthening leadership, celebrating community, and discovering new opportunities across Henry County.
