This year we will hold quarterly membership meetings called “Lunch and Learn” with informative speakers that are great networking opportunities. Also, we will hold early morning “Chamber Coffees” where there is an opportunity for everyone to make announcements of news and promotions in their businesses.
We are located at our county’s Welcome Center, also known as The Depot, where members’ brochures and/or business cards are made available to tourists and relocators to Hohenwald.
An active Chamber of Commerce is a requirement of Tennessee’s Three-Star program, which provides lower matching fund requirements for grant awards through the State of Tennessee, saving our town and our county grant funding. And, we are positively an active and strong chamber that is very interested in the promotion and growth of every one of our members. Our membership is currently at over 150 members.
