Join us on Wednesday, December 3 for our next Emerging Leaders event featuring Karla Roper, Vice President of Operations for the Alabama Chambers.

In “REEL Results: Creating Effective Video Content for Your Business,” Karla will share tips on how to use social media platforms to create engaging reels and short-form videos that connect with your audience. Learn practical tips for using free tools like Canva and CapCut to simplify video creation and enhance your marketing impact.

Be sure to bring your laptop or phone for this hands-on, interactive session. Participants are encouraged to bring short video clips — or we’ll shoot a few on site — to practice creating and editing your own reel during the session.

Expand your knowledge and leadership skills at this Emerging Leaders event, which offers valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth. This event will be held at the Decatur Morgan County Tourism office from 12 to 1 p.m. Register by Monday, December 1 and invite a colleague to join you!

Join us on Tuesday, December 16 from 10–11:30 a.m. as we begin developing the Chamber’s 2026 Public Policy Agenda.

This year, we have consolidated all discussions into a single, streamlined session rather than hosting separate federal, state and local meetings. The 2026 agenda will be organized by topic, creating a more focused and efficient way to review the issues that impact our business community.

During the meeting, Chamber members will have the opportunity to provide input on the following key areas: economic and community development, education and workforce development, transportation and infrastructure, healthcare, tax and fiscal policy and defense.

Your insight is essential as we refine priorities and ensure the agenda reflects the needs and perspectives of our members. You can review the 2025 agenda here. We look forward to your participation as we work together to shape the future of our community and region. Please RSVP by Friday, December 12.
