Each year, the Bainbridge-Decatur County Chamber of Commerce sets a plan that guides our priorities and strengthens our mission of supporting our members and local businesses. As Bainbridge continues to grow and change, we remain rooted in what makes our town special...strong connections, shared goals, and pride in our community. Our work is focused on the following key areas:

Business Development

We support our business community with tools, resources, and relationships that lead to growth. From monthly lunches and networking to connecting members with UGA’s Small Business Development Center, we’re here to help local businesses succeed at every stage.

Workforce & Economic Development

We bring education and industry together to prepare our workforce for the future. Through partnerships, roundtables, and storytelling, we help make Bainbridge a place where people want to live, work, and grow their careers.

Member Engagement

We believe that strong relationships are the heart of a successful Chamber. From meaningful outreach to member retention efforts, we’re focused on keeping our members connected and engaged. Our Chamber Ambassadors play a key role in welcoming new members, showing up at events, and being the friendly faces that make our Chamber feel like home.

Community Engagement

Bainbridge is more than just a place, it’s a community. We’re committed to lifting up the people and businesses that make our town special. Whether it’s through events, local initiatives, or creating moments that bring people together, we work to strengthen the sense of pride and connection that defines Bainbridge.
