Corporate Sponsors
Letter from the Executive Director November brings to mind the things we are grateful for and we have a lot to be thankful for in Shelby County. Over the past few weeks, we’ve helped new businesses and facilities celebrate the grand opening all over the southern region of this county. From the new Grandview Medical Center on Highway 280 to the brand new Columbiana Senior Center; the growth continues to happen here! This month will also present further opportunities for networking and professional development. We begin with our November luncheon where we will hear from Jimmie Hale Mission Executive Director Tony Cooper and we will be spotlighting the businesses and organizations of Columbiana. The mid-month we will have a Business After Hours at everyone’s favorite olive oil tasting room, Simply Infused of Mt. Laurel! And, all this month we will be accepting nominations for the 10th Annual Diamond Awards. Who needs to be recognized for their work during 2015? What business has grown or made a huge impact on the local economy?
