JA Northwest Georgia Business Hall of Fame

This annual event in Dalton highlights the careers and public service of some of the area’s most outstanding citizens. The honorees are selected based on their outstanding business accomplishments as well as their extensive support of our community.

This year we will celebrate the induction of Cathy and Jim Mathews, as they join the prestigious list of laureates who have enriched the Central Savannah River Area through their business leadership and exemplary civic and professional achievements. We will also honor Amanda Brown, a rising star in Northwest Georgia.

Join us Thursday, March 6, 2025, for this time-honored event that includes a cocktail reception, silent auction, seated dinner, and induction ceremony.
