Chamblee Business Association To Present 2011Program/Event Showcase

For Immediate Release


The Chamblee Business Association will use its March General Meeting to give attendees a chance to get involved and get answers. Come and meet the Board of Directors, learn about the various committees, and hear how businesses and residents can get involved.

The program is scheduled to include presentations that highlight the CBA’s education initiatives, membership promotions, upcoming events, and how membership dues are put to great use.

For the past several years, the Chamblee Business Association, formerly known as the Chamblee Area Business and Professional Coalition, has given a scholarship to graduating seniors from Chamblee High School and Cross Keys High School. The scholarships are given to students that exemplify citizenship both inside the classroom through proven dedication to their studies, as well as outside the classroom through community service activities.

Complementing the State of the City Address by the Mayor of Chamblee, the CBA is very proud to sponsor a schedule of special events, including the 2011 Award of the Harris Scholarships, The 2011 Taste of Chamblee Fall Festival, and our annual can food drive, which netted almost 5,000 cans in December of 2010.

Over the past 3 years, the Chamblee Business Association has become an important source for news that may impact local businesses. From educational presentations and community events to notifications about government affairs, the CBA has proven to be a reliable source of good and relevant information.

The Chamblee Business Association is supported through memberships. Meetings are open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend. The meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at the Chamblee Civic Center, located at 3540 Broad St. Chamblee, GA 30341. Doors open at 7:30am, and the program begins at 8:00am. There is no charge for first-time guests, returning guest are $10, and members are $5. A centennial breakfast is served.
