Greater Dalton Chamber
The Chamber is excited to be rolling out new branding and a new website! In the midst of a challenging year we have been hard at work helping our members and the community stay informed and make changes to the way they do business, while doing the same ourselves. This new branding is representative of the strong foundation we strive to give our members and the community, and will help us carry momentum forward as we serve Dalton/Whitfield County.
Our new branding is inspired by branding for the Greater Dalton community that will be launched at the first of the year. |

Attendees ended a full day of virtual and in-person options with an on-site reception and dinner with US Senator David Perdue. Photos and details can be found HERE.
