About this Event
Join the Henry County Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Greater Atlanta for the fourth and final session of Building Economic Bridges, a collaborative discussion series bringing together business leaders, community partners, and key stakeholders around issues that impact our region’s economic strength and long-term prosperity.
This session will focus on workforce development and career pathways, exploring opportunities to strengthen the connection between employers, education, workforce resources, and the broader community. Together, we’ll examine how cross-sector collaboration can help build a stronger talent pipeline, support economic mobility, and create an environment where businesses and communities can thrive.
