The Baxley-Appling County Chamber of Commerce invites all members of the community to take part in the Baxley-Appling Community-Wide Leadership Retreat, to be held on Wednesday, December 3rd, from 8:00 a.m. until noon at the Appling County AgCenter.

This important planning event is open to everyone in the community, and there is no cost to attend. Lunch will be provided, but registration is required to ensure adequate seating and meals. Registration is open now through Wednesday, November 26th at noon and can be completed by calling the Chamber office at (912) 367-7731 or emailing chamberdirector@baxley.org.

The retreat agenda will include:
•Welcome and introduction
•Celebration of community accomplishments
•Review of public input and the Joint Comprehensive Plan
•Prioritization of the community’s top three projects
•Development of timelines and identification of funding opportunities

Jenny Robbins, Manager of Community and Leadership Development with Georgia EMC, will facilitate the event.

In addition to the retreat, a community survey is available for all residents. The survey is also available by email or print.  Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey—even if they are unable to attend the retreat. 

Community input is vital to shaping the county’s priorities, ensuring that every voice is heard in the planning process. Survey results will help guide discussions and decisions at the retreat.

The December retreat follows an initial Community Leadership Retreat held in October, where representatives from the Baxley-Appling County Chamber of Commerce, Development Authority of Appling County, City of Baxley, Appling County Board of Commissioners, Appling County School System, Baxley-Appling County Board of Tourism, Downtown Development Authority of Baxley, and Appling Healthcare gathered to review the Joint Comprehensive Plan and develop the framework for the community-wide session.

During that earlier retreat, participants affirmed that Baxley-Appling County is a community deeply rooted in family values, collaboration, and resourcefulness—with strong foundations in education and industry. While the county excels in building relationships and supporting youth, leaders recognized opportunities to strengthen infrastructure, inclusivity, and communication across organizations.

The community’s shared vision looks toward economic stability, expanded housing and recreational opportunities, and a thriving, diverse population. The upcoming retreat will serve as a platform for residents and leaders alike to unify around shared goals, celebrate local strengths, and craft actionable strategies that preserve Baxley’s small-town charm while embracing future growth and opportunity.
