The Cobb Chamber announced that U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff will be the featured guest at the chamber’s Marquee Monday event on August 12.

Check-in and lunch begin at: 11:15 a.m. and the program lasts from noon to 1 p.m.

The press release for the event stated, “Visiting during the August Senate recess, Senator Ossoff will discuss issues affecting the state during the current 118th Congress (2023-2024).”

“Born and raised in Georgia, Senator Ossoff serves as our Senior United States Senator,” the press release continued. “Since taking office on January 20, 2021, he has fostered bipartisanship in the Senate, achieving significant legislative results for Georgia, even in a divided Congress. In his first two years in office, Senator Ossoff passed more standalone bills into law than any other freshman Senator.”

At the same event, the Cobb Chamber’s Cobb Young Professionals will present its 2024 Next Generation Award.

In April’s announcement seeking nominations for the awards, the Chamber wrote:

Nominees for the Next Generation Award must be active in the community, be essential to their profession through demonstrated leadership and offer a unique perspective. Recipients should be someone who others can admire, learn from and celebrate. Any young professional in their 20s and 30s can be nominated, but only members of the Cobb Chamber can be honored with the award as a next generation leader.
