Chattahoochee Technical College Sponsors
Recognition of Retiring Educators
The Chamber's Education Committee, in partnership with Chattahoochee Technical College, is recognizing retiring educators from the Cherokee County School District by donating funds to the Sequoyah Regional Library System. The funds will be used to purchase books for all five library branches located in the county. The books will include a label recognizing all faculty, staff and administrators who retired during the 2019-2020 school year. Each retiree will receive notification that a book is being donated in their honor.
“This is the eleventh year that the Chamber has acknowledged retiring educators for their valuable contribution to the lives of students in Cherokee County. The Chamber is pleased to partner with Chattahoochee Technical College as they sponsor this tribute to Cherokee County’s educators,” shared Chamber President & CEO Pam Carnes.

Accounting Fundamentals
Presented by:
William Birmingham, Mauldin & Jenkins
How exactly do debits and credits work and what do they have to do with the balance sheet and income statement? What is the difference between accrual and cash accounting? And, what is "Opening Balance Equity" and why does my accountant say it shouldn't be there?!?
If you've ever found yourself scratching your head over any of these questions, this course is for you! We will demystify the fundamentals of double-entry bookkeeping so you will understand what is happening behind the scenes as you perform day-to-day transactions in your accounting software. You will also become aware of why things sometimes go awry. Since it is such a popular system, we will cover a few specific issues you are likely to encounter in QuickBooks as well.

COST: $20
