THE MISSION OF OUR BUSINESS: The
Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce
provides the resources and support to advance
business success in the region. – Yvonne
THE BEST BUSINESS ADVICE I HAVE
RECEIVED: Listen to your clients about their
pain points and then develop a plan to meet
that need or introduce the client to the right
person who can help. Don't try to be all things
to all clients. – Julia
WOMEN COULD BETTER SUPPORT
EACH OTHER BY: Cultivating intentional
mentorships for younger female professionals.
– Yvonne
I AM EXCITED ABOU T: Increased
engagement in our community. People from all
corners of Macon are engaged in meaningful
discourse about what we can accomplish
together for collective business success,
improved prosperity across all neighborhoods
and a heightened quality of life that draws new
residents and employees here. – Julia
THE MOST CHALLENGING PART
OF BEING A WOMAN IN BUSINESS:
Understanding all the processes and building
blocks to establish a successful business. The
Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce can
make a difference in guiding that process.
– Yvonne
I ADMIRE WOMEN WHO: Are gracious
with sincere praise and who exude humble
gratitude for the talent working alongside
them to advance their business interests or a
common community initiative. – Julia
MY ADVICE FOR WOMEN WHO WANT
TO START A BUSINESS: Join networks.
Utilize the resources at SCORE. The Greater
Macon Chamber is ideally suited to connect
women entrepreneurs to both networking and
SCORE mentoring services. – Yvonne
