I honestly don\u2019t think any of us will go back [to normal]. As terrible as COVID was, we can take lessons from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a community known for its entrepreneurial spirit, Moore says the number of multi-generational businesses speaks highly of the small business culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStatistics show that once you get to third and fourth generation [ownership], businesses tend to burn out,\u201d she says. \u201cI really don\u2019t see that here, that says a lot about this community, who we are and who want to support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the community begins to emerge from pandemic disruptions, Moore says the Chamber is committed to helping businesses re-think their operation models. \u201cI don\u2019t think there is a business in Valdosta or Lowndes who will tell you they are doing things exactly the same before the pandemic.

As terrible as COVID was, we can take lessons from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Realizing that not all members fit in the \u201csame box,\u201d Moore says the Chamber has to implement programs that meet members where they are and fit their current business needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we move forward we have to think about how to engage all the different sectors,\u201d she says. \u201cIn Valdosta and Lowndes County we have a huge variety and diversity of our economy\u2026not just retail and manufacturing,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A major shift across all businesses is employment. \u201cOne thing we have learned is \u2018work\u2019 looked different during the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Either working from home or being an \u201cessential worker\u201d the Chamber is working with the business community to meet the different needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hear our businesses loud and clear that the biggest issue is having the workers to fulfill their needs,\u201d she says. \u201cThe Chamber can encourage and support businesses and be the leader for helping institute best practices. We can be that research partner, information partner. I find that businesses know their industry really, really well, sometimes they need that extra help to know how to pivot and change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chamberorganizer.com\/members\/evr\/reg_event.php?orgcode=VLCC&amp;evid=59821467?srh=Workforce+Solutions+Summit\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3574\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sgamag.com\/index.php\/2021\/05\/18\/podcast-spotlights-valdosta-lowndes-county-chamber-of-commerce\/workforce-solutions-summit\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?fit=1545%2C2000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1545,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Workforce Solutions Summit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?fit=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?fit=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-3574 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?resize=363%2C470&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"363\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?resize=791%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 791w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?resize=232%2C300&amp;ssl=1 232w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?resize=768%2C994&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?resize=1187%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1187w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sgamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Workforce-Solutions-Summit.png?w=1545&amp;ssl=1 1545w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/a>As part of its workforce mission, the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber is partnering with the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority, Wiregrass Technical College, and Georgia Power to host a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chamberorganizer.com\/members\/evr\/reg_event.php?orgcode=VLCC&amp;evid=59821467?srh=Workforce+Solutions+Summit\"><strong>Workforce Solutions Summit from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Wednesday, June 9, at the at Rainwater Conference Center. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>According to Moore, the summit provides an opportunity to gain feedback from business leaders and provide information about existing programs and options that all businesses can utilize to foster their workforce pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>The Valdosta-Lowndes Chamber\u2019s mission is focused on advocating, building, and connecting.
