Our Director of Membership & Marketing, Marissa, enjoyed serving on this year's MLK Day of Service Committee over the past several months. This team organizes an important annual celebration in support of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday and commitment to service. Athens is one of the thousands of cities across the country that celebrate the federal holiday as "A Day On and Not a Day Off". This Monday, January 15th, hundreds of volunteers gathered at a kick-off event and volunteered at project sites across the community!

The Chamber is a proud sponsor of the Athens MLK Day Parade & Festival which was held downtown yesterday. Each year the United Group of Artists Music Association gives back to the community by donating a percentage of the proceeds to the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement because it has been a vital force in promoting the philosophies and goals of Dr. Martin Luther King in the Athens-Clarke County community. AADM advocates for equal justice, opportunity, and economic advancement for all.

The Chamber sponsored UGA's Freedom Breakfast which honors the legacy of the late civil rights leader and recognizes local community members dedicated to contributing to race relations, justice, and human rights. We were represented by staff and Ambassadors (L to R: Seth Bagwell, Ross Massey, Noah Parker, Peter Stoddard, Jennifer Griffeth) at this morning's event.
