The Effingham County Chamber of Commerce will present its 47th Employee of the Year award Friday at the monthly First Friday Luncheon at the Thelma Keller Convention Center. 

The annual Employee Appreciation Luncheon gives local businesses the opportunity to nominate employees who they felt were deserving of the award.

They provide service by contributing time and energy to improve the quality of life at their office, business, and/or community.

Susan Hanfland, Senior Consultant & Trainer with SCH Consulting, will be the featured presenter. Ms. Hanfland has 35+ years of experience in education as a teacher and administrator. She currently works as a consultant sharing tools that facilitate innovative thinking and collaborative relationships. Ms. Hanfland is a certified facilitator for "True Colors", training over 5,000 people. "True Colors" is a tool for understanding different personalities and perspectives, enabling people to improve their communication and collaboration skills.

The community is welcome to attend and can register by visiting the Events Page on the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce website. All attendees will have a chance at winning a door prize from local Chamber member businesses.
