AGRICULTURAL & RURAL SERVICES – Allen McCorvey, Chairperson
A major event of the year is the VIP Farm Tour held at the Sunbelt Ag Expo in October. The purpose of this tour is to acquaint state legislators and officials with the realities of the farming industry and to highlight Colquitt County as an agricultural showplace. This committee hosts the Farm Safety Day for 5th graders in March. Our goal is to save lives and prevent injuries to children on our area farms. The committee is involved in bringing together agricultural industries and retail establishments during Farm-City Week. This committee also hosts the Farmer’s Appreciation Dinner.

An “Ambassador of the Month” is awarded.
TOURISM & MARKETING – Katie Jenkins, Chairperson
The mission of the Tourism & Marketing Committee is to capitalize on existing assets and research potential promotions to improve tourism and relocation infrastructure and to make Moultrie-Colquitt County an ever-increasing tourism destination. The committee’s goal is to increase commerce through additional bed tax revenues and retail sales due to growth in tourism and the relocation of families to Moultrie and Colquitt County.
WORKFORCE & SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT – Quentin Bates, Chairperson
Working with the local education system, colleges, employers, Chamber members, and the community, this committee assists with the career preparation needs of students and the workforce development needs of employers. The Workforce Development Committee has three goals: 1) Increase the quality and number of skilled labor available to Chamber members and other employers in the community, 2) Increase the likelihood that students graduate from high school with a marketable skill and/or are prepared to enter post-secondary education, and 3) Assure that quality and accessible professional development opportunities are available for Chamber members.
