The Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce is currently advocating for greater dialog and engagement across a variety of stakeholders to strengthen public education through a biannual Education Summit. The Chamber’s second summit will be held on Thursday, March 15 at the Kroc Center. The summit begins at 7:30 am with an opportunity to network with members of the Richmond County Board of Education, the Augusta-Richmond County Commission as well as educators, other business leaders and non-profits in order to strengthen our community’s vision for public education.

The morning’s agenda also features a number of dynamic speakers including presentations from the Georgia Center for Non-Profits, Get Georgia Reading Campaign and more.
