On December 11, 2018, the Montgomery Chamber concluded its 146th Annual Meeting, a signature event for the region’s business community and elected leadership. This year’s meeting recapped the Chamber’s 2018 wins and highlighted economic development and tourism projects underway that will lead to future growth in the region.
The meeting included a keynote address from former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a video overview of the Chamber’s accomplishments and updates on initiatives underway, and 2018 Chairman, Judge Charles Price passed the gavel to incoming 2019 Chairman Willie Durham. The Chamber presented its first-ever MGM Impact Maker Awards, which honored individuals and companies making a
significant difference in the region.
