Savannah Chamber of Commerce

Kenna Simmons,

It would be easy to say that, when a group of merchants gathered in Savannah on Dec. 13, 1806 to form a chamber of commerce, they had no idea what their city would become. But the Savannah Chamber of Commerce has always been pretty far-sighted, so it's entirely possible that if the same group viewed the city and the organization today, its members wouldn't be surprised.
