The Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce invites you to nominate a candidate (or yourself) from your company or organization to participate in Leadership Chattooga 2024. The purpose of this program is to provide emerging community leaders with a greater awareness of community issues, needs, services and resources.  Equipping our future partners in business, government and community with the tools they need to be effective and successful leaders in their respective fields is the goal of the Chattooga Chamber of Commerce, and we appreciate your continued support to reach that goal each year.

The application process is simple, asking for basic information from both the candidate and the company or organization for which they work. You may apply by clicking the button below, or you may request an application by mail.
