PROMOTE

This event gives the Chamber an opportunity to shine the spotlight on outstanding Chamber individuals and businesses.  The Chamber presents awards for Members’ Choice, Young Professional of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Ambassador of the Year, and Most Valuable Employee.  In addition to these awards, the Chamber presents two special awards: The A.L. Girardin Award and the BIG Thinker Award.
Connection Magazine: Connection Magazine is a publication targeted for affluent seniors in the Valdosta area.  If your business offers special deals or discounts for seniors, or if your business offers programs and services specific to the needs of seniors, Connection magazine is a great place to advertise your business directly to your target market.

Progress Magazine
The Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber has published Progress for more than forty years. In 2019, we decided it was time for a change! Since 2019, issued have been an online flippable magazine that will recognize one sponsor. As the world head’s toward digital avenues, your cutting edge Chamber Chamber searched for new ways to tell the Chamber’s story without competing with our members. This digital magazine will come out quarterly and will be compounded by the end of the year into the Annual Report that behaves like actual paper books with amazing page flip animations and sound.

PrimeTime Business Expo
The Chamber offers members the opportunity to showcase their products and services at an annual business-to-business Expo.  This functions as a great networking event where members can exchange ideas and business cards, as well as being a great way to market your business if you offer services targeted at other businesses or consumers.
