Greetings, Chamber Family,

It is an honor to serve as your incoming Chairman for 2025–2026. As we look ahead, I am inspired by the strong foundation built by past leaders, our members, volunteers, staff, and community partners. Together, we’ve established a Chamber that leads in economic development, education, military, and government affairs, with leadership programs recognized across our state and region.

My goal this year is to sustain that momentum and add a new focus: workforce housing. As new industries and jobs come to our area, this initiative will ensure housing options for working families—helping us retain talent and strengthen our community. We will continue investing in education and workforce training to align with employer needs and prepare the next generation of leaders.

Chamber membership is more than networking or a yearly initiative—it’s about building a thriving economy, strengthening education, and investing in our future. With your support, Dothan will continue to be not only a great place to live, but also a place to learn, raise families, enjoy life, and build lasting success.

I am grateful for your commitment and look forward to working together in the year ahead as we build upon our successes and create new opportunities. Welcome to your Chamber, the crown jewel of the South

Sam Crawford
