What Sylvester - Worth County Chamber of Commerce does

The Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce is a private non-profit membership organization founded in 1981 and headquartered at 122 N Main Street, Sylvester, Georgia, serving Worth County. It operates as the official gateway to the community, fostering relationships between citizens, local businesses, educational institutions, and governmental agencies, and provides a professional front door for prospective homeowners, business owners, and industry professionals considering the area. The organization runs on a small staff of approximately seven people under President and CEO Kayla Myers.

The Chamber's core offerings are organized around a membership program that serves 300+ members spanning businesses, financial institutions, non-profits, educational institutions, individuals, and retirees. Its service portfolio includes the Leadership Worth leadership-development program, a member business directory with mini-webpages, advertising placement in Community Magazine and a county map, ribbon-cutting and grand-opening ceremonies, the Chamber Annex rental facility, Business After Hours networking events, scholarship programs, and tourism promotion. The Chamber also organizes recurring signature community events including the Annual Awards Luncheon, the Georgia Peanut Festival, the Annual Car Show, Boots and Pearls, and the Farmers Appreciation Dinner. The organization is affiliated with the Georgia and US Chambers of Commerce and partners with the Worth County Economic Development Authority, the City of Sylvester, the Worth County School System, Georgia Grown, Explore Georgia, and Sylvester Local News.

The Chamber's revenue model is diversified across four streams: annual membership dues (the recurring core), event sponsorships tied to its annual programming, advertising services sold through Community Magazine, the county map, and the Sylvester Local News partnership, and facility rental of the Chamber Annex. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, except for the Leadership Worth program which charges $250 per participant. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, networking events, and community engagement to recruit members from the local business, non-profit, and individual base. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations are supported by a standard website, social media presence, and the ChamberOrganizer member portal.
