From the desk of Janna Bass...
The opportunities continue throughout October with our involvement in the Town of Garland and Roseboro NC Step Committees as well as in the Downtown Clinton Economic Restructuring Committee. The month of October held our 2nd Round Table Discussion of the year (as pictured above), which brought a variety of leaders from across the county together in order to discuss their present challanges. We know that as we work together, each of these challanges can be turned into opportunities.
We thank each of you for your support and dedication to the Chamber and Sampson County. We continue to encourage each of you to take advantage of the networking, advertising, and educational opportunities the Chamber offers and
let the Chamber work for you!
