Oconee County & Athens Area Chamber’s of Commerce 

by: Oconee State Bank Marketing

 

Most recently, Oconee State Bank partnered with the Oconee Chamber of Commerce and the Athens Area County Chamber of Commerce to host the joint chamber education event, featuring Dr. Randy Ross.

 

 

Our surrounding chambers are dedicated to improving and empowering our local businesses to be successful, and grow, daily, into the businesses they desire to become. Similarly, Oconee State Bank values supporting our local businesses, and constantly engaging in idea sharing and relationship building.

 

THAT is the reason we always enjoy partnering with the Oconee and Athens Area Chambers, in an attempt to bring value to the lives of our local businesses and to our own community.

 

“The success of the Oconee Chamber of Commerce is dependent on the success of the businesses we serve and our ability to collaborate with our partners. We are truly blessed to have such a longstanding partnership with Oconee State Bank; a cornerstone of our region with a team of remarkable individuals willing to serve because they want to, not because they have to. Collaboration with OSB is easy because of their amazing team and their willingness to think creatively, think big and go the extra mile. What makes our partnership with our OSB so valuable is our ability to bring in other regional partners, like the Athens Area Chamber of Commerce, to broaden our reach and impact many. We are proud of the events we can all do together, we engage, inspire and connect more individuals and we consider that a HUGE win for all! The Oconee Chamber of Commerce is a better organization because of our partnership with OSB,” -Courtney  Bernardi, President, Oconee Chamber of Commerce.
