Business Connections
The Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 2nd Annual Industry Appreciation Event on February 6 at Inverness Country Club from 4:00PM until 6:00PM. The annual event, hosted by the Chamber’s Existing Business & Industry Work Group, is a direct result of ShelbyOne, the Chamber’s five-year strategic plan. The purpose of the event is to thank industry for conducting
business in Shelby County and share the positive impact those businesses have on our community. This year we will be recognizing the Chamber’s certified Green Businesses (Armstrong Relocation, FlexDigital, Trash Taxi of Alabama, LLC and Shelby Baptist Medical Center) along
with the businesses that hosted a quarterly Industry Tour in 2013 (Bud’s Best Cookies, A.C. Legg, Inc., Morgan Creek Vineyards, and Alabama Power E.C. Gaston Power Plant). The Greater Shelby County Chamber of Commerce and Shelby County Economic
& Industrial Development Authority thank Regions Bank for sponsoring this event. For more information on the Green Business Program, hosting an Industry Tour or attending the invitation only event, please contact Brooke Story at brooke@shelbychamber.org or by telephone at 663-4542. Sponsored by:
