The recent 2011 community retreat was the 20th sponsored by the Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce. "The Chamber's intent in organizing the retreat is to provide a venue for discussion of current or potential issues and opportunities to enhance Bulloch County's economic vitality," said Phyllis Thompson, Chamber president. "The Chamber takes responsibility for creating a structure for each retreat that will lead to idea generation and support for mutual attainable goals for the public good."
