Chairman’s Message
January 2, 2026

A new year brings fresh energy — and an opportunity to build on the strong foundation already in place.
As I step into the role of Board Chair for 2026, I’m excited about the work ahead and confident in the direction of our Chamber. The past year reinforced what we already know: progress happens when business leaders, educators, elected officials, and community partners move forward together with shared purpose.
In the year ahead, we’ll continue focusing on what drives long-term success for the Robins Region — economic vitality, workforce readiness, advocacy, and a business environment where companies can grow and thrive. Just as important, we’ll stay grounded in the relationships and trust that make this Chamber effective.
This is ongoing work. Meaningful work. And it’s work we’re committed to doing well — together.
Thank you for your engagement, your leadership, and your belief in what’s possible for our region. I’m honored to serve, and I look forward to what we’ll accomplish in the year ahead.
Jeremy Nelms, CEO, Flint Energies
