East Cobb Business Association (ECBA) announced that they would be hosting a luncheon on August 18.

“As you’re aware, this has been a very unusual time for everyone. The COVID pandemic has impacted all of us in different ways. Within any organization there are those who want to meet in person right away, while there are many more that absolutely won’t. Regardless of this reality, people still need to network in order to grow their businesses and keep their sanity, “ shared Jim Harris, president of the ECBA.

To meet the needs of as many ECBA members as possible, the August 18th ECBA luncheon will be a combination online/in person event. Commissioner Bob Ott will be the guest speaker. He will be speaking on the Select Cobb business grant and changes to Cobb County taxes and budget. Bob will be presenting online. Whether you attend in person or online, you’ll be able to ask questions and speak directly to him. Participating in the live meeting will give you the opportunity to break bread with your fellow ECBA members while catching up on Cobb County news from Commissioner Ott.

During this event you will have the option of attending online or in person. If you choose to attend in person, the meeting will be held at Rich Hart Global Studios. The studios are located at 2030 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Suite 270, Atlanta, GA 30339. For their first attempt at this ECBA leaders found a facility that had a solid Wi-Fi and video platform.  ECBA member Jim Fuhs, from Fuhsion Marketing, will be producing this event.
