  • November 4th 2022

My delightful guest today is Maggie Milner, the CEO of the Eatonton-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Maggie is young, energetic, creative and loves her role in leading the organization & creating new vision for the growing downtown Eatonton and Putnam County. We'll talk about some of the projects taking place now and in the future!


We'll hear about her early years, growing up in Noonan, GA, attending school in Milledgeville and discovering her strong interest in non-profits. We'll trace her career from Habitat for Humanity to CASA, to the Plaza Arts Center and now, leading the Chamber of Commerce, but not without a diversion or two along the way!


We'll discuss Maggie's thoughts on the future of Eatonton, especially the progress of downtown revitalization, of Putnam County and the lake area in general. She'll tell us the challenges, and the advantages, of being a young Chamber CEO and we'll talk about the amazing "art scene" available here, very impressive for a small community!


Maggie tells us about the many programs & initiatives the Chamber is offering to support the growth of business in Putnam County, the benefits of being involved in the Chamber. and some of the upcoming events the Chamber is offering, not just for members, but to the community as well! And we'll learn a lot more about Maggie and what "keeps" her at the lake!

Lure of the Lake

Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.

I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
