Staff Report From Metro Atlanta CEO
Thursday, January 10th, 2019
The Honorary Commanders Association, a cooperative effort involving the Cobb Chamber, Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB), General Lucius D. Clay National Guard Center, and the Navy and Marine Corps, is excited to announce its 2019 class.
The Honorary Commanders Association annually selects community and business leaders and pairs them with military personnel in a yearlong program designed to give leaders an opportunity to learn about military activities, their impact on the economy and the various aspects of the national defense system. More than 100 professionals were nominated for the program and 26 class members were selected for the 2019 class. The 2019 Class Co-Chairs are Greg Teague of Croy Engineering and Christine Reliford, USCM (ret.).
Created by the Cobb Chamber in 1983, the association has grown over the years to include units of our nation’s Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Each program event covers a branch of service and includes a behind-the-scenes tour of local and regional military assets. The 2019 Class is sponsored by Atlanta Marriott Northwest, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Hawthorne Global Aviation Service and Blue Sky Exhibits.
