Community Convener is back, and we're kicking off 2026 with a refreshed plan, a new rhythm, and a renewed focus on meaningful dialogue.
In this episode, we share what's new for the podcast this year, including our updated release schedule and the intentional direction guiding our conversations moving forward.
We begin with Community Dialogue, featuring a powerful conversation with:
- Christy Chewning, Community Engagement Coordinator with Central Georgia EMC
- George Crews, Area Manager with Georgia Power and 2026 Engagement & Inclusion Committee Chair
- Jacqueline Taylor, Business Customer Experience Team Lead with Georgia Power
- Wanda Bailey-Jenkins, First Vice President, NAACP
The conversation reflects on Martin Luther King Jr. Day and challenges our community to carry the spirit of service, equity, and unity beyond a single day.
Next, we hear from Leonard in a candid conversation with Dana Howard, from DNA Med Services, our 2025 Ambassador of the Year, captured moments after receiving the award.
We also sit down with Laura Luker, Director of Tourism, to unpack the role of Hotel-Motel Tax and why visitor spending is vital in Henry County.
Of course, we wrap up with Upcoming Events and our Member Minute, highlighting the people, programs, and opportunities that keep our Chamber community connected and thriving.
