We partnered with the Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA) recently to host a legislative town hall Fresh Air BBQ, an NFIB member business in Macon.

Participants included state Sen. Rick Williams and Reps. Shaw Blackmon, Regina Lews Ward, and  Dale Washburn. The discussed a host of critical small business issues and answered questions about taxes, government regulations, and other issues affecting Main Street businesses.

“This event gave our members and other small business owners the opportunity to hear what’s happening in Atlanta and share their concerns directly with their elected leaders,” NFIB State Director Hunter Loggins said. “We appreciate all of the legislators who joined us and took time to listen to the people they represent.”
