ATTENTION EMPLOYERS: Starting January 2025, Alabama employers can apply for up to $600,000 in tax credits to support childcare costs for eligible employees! This bipartisan initiative, part of the 2024 "Working for Alabama" package, aims to increase workforce participation by addressing childcare challenges. Small businesses and rural employers get priority, with up to 100% reimbursement available. The program also supports childcare providers, offering credits and grants based on quality ratings and services for low-income children. Public hearings on program rules will be held January 7.

Last week, we celebrated our 152nd Annual Meeting—a time to reflect on the milestones we’ve achieved together in 2024 and the bright future ahead. Following the annual meeting, we took a heartfelt pause for our Holiday Luncheon on Wednesday, coming together as a Chamber family to celebrate the season and a year filled with hard work, collaboration, and success. It was also a bittersweet moment as we honored two extraordinary team members: Paul Redhead, retiring after an incredible 26 years of service, and Brenda King, whose 15 years of dedication have left a lasting impact on our Chamber and community. Paul and Brenda, your passion, commitment, and leadership have touched countless lives. We are forever grateful for all you’ve done and wish you the absolute best in this new chapter. As we close out this year, our hearts are full of gratitude for our members, partners, and community. We wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
