Chamber's First Friday Luncheon This Week

The Effingham County Chamber will host its First Friday Luncheon on Friday, May 6 at the Holiday Inn Effingham.

The Chamber will welcome their 2022 Effingham County Chamber Excellence in Business Recipients, StangARTs and Washington Savings Bank. Jamie Stang-Ellis, owner of StangARTs, will present virtually due to pre-planned travel. David Doedtman, President & CEO of Washington Savings Bank, will present in-person. The Chamber recognized these two businesses at the Annual Gala in January.

The Excellence in Business award is presented to businesses who have had a significant impact on our community during the previous year. Criteria for the award includes business performance, innovative practices, revenue & job growth, employee development, new programs, civic involvement, and leadership. Excellence in Business recipients can be self-nominated or nominated by family, friends, peers, and members of the community. Past recipients are listed on the Chamber website at EffinghamCountyChamber.com/awards.

The fee to attend the luncheon is $20.00 per person in advance. The event is open to the public. Register by Thursday, May 5 online through the Events Calendar at EffinghamCountyChamber.com/events, or by calling the Chamber at (217) 342-4147.
