Lavonia Welcomes New Chamber Director

A new Director of the Lavonia Chamber of Commerce will soon begin work.

At last week’s Lavonia Chamber of Commerce Banquet, Chamber President Matt Fowler introduced Genie Moore. Fowler says they interviewed four candidates and Moore came out on top.

“She is our new Director and she is going to be the paid staff member for the Lavonia Chamber – Genie Moore,” he said. “She had the most experience with Chambers. She was a part of the Henry County Chamber where she was from. She just recently moved to the area. She part of the committees there. She was part of the Main Street program there. She was part of the Board of the Chamber there. She brings a lot of passion for helping people, particularly businesses. She’s a successful Mary Kay saleswoman.”

Fowler said they needed someone who was comfortable reaching out to the community and local businesses and Moore brings that background to Lavonia.

Fowler said some of the events the Chamber is working on include a Taste of Lavonia event with area restaurants at the Gazebo offering samples of their menus.

Fowler said Moore starts work on Tuesday, May 23.
