    Registration Fee: $347 per person
    This rate reflects the true, at-cost expense of delivering a comprehensive, overnight advocacy experience in Atlanta. It includes all meals, receptions, transportation, program materials, and coordination.

    Rather than compromise on quality, the Chamber has aligned registration with actual hotel, catering, and transportation costs to preserve the caliber of this signature program.

    Your participation directly supports Effingham County's continued representation and leadership at the Capitol.
