Valuable Online Exposure
The Athens Area Chamber website generates hundreds of thousands of “hits” per year. Our new website, athensga.com is the premier site in Athens for news you can use. Members are searchable, listed alphabetically and by category, and include not only links to your own site but directions and maps as well!
Membership Directory
This full-color publication directory is published and distributed to thousands of newcomers and others annually. It’s a great way to reach your fellow business leaders and others, and to have a quick reference tool on everything Athens. Your business and representatives are listed throughout. Additional advertising opportunities for members only are available beginning in October for the following year.
