On Thursday, July 16, 2026, the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama (Alabama Chambers) will host the 2026 National Civics Bee aimed at encouraging more young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Twelve middle-school students from across Alabama will participate in the competition to demonstrate their civics knowledge and discuss how they would solve a problem facing their community.
Join the Jubilee at the Alabama Chambers Professional Development Conference (PDC)! Set against the welcoming backdrop of Daphne, Alabama, September 28ā30, this yearās PDC is a celebration of learning, connection, and professional growth.
We are halfway through the year, and only
about 60 days from the much beloved āBer
months! I hope that the first half of the year has treated you well and that the second half will do the same.
As I sit to write this, I have just returned from one of my favorite weeks of the year – Southeast Institute for Organization Management. This year was particularly meaningful as I had the honor of serving as Chair of the Board of Regents. Representing Alabama and having the opportunity to give back to a program that means so much was truly a moment I will not soon forget.
Happy Summer! Hard to believe as I write this the calendar has flipped to June. Hopefully, for many of you that means a chance to slow down a bit, soak in some sun, and spend some time with family.
The Alabama Chambers is excited to host the 2026 National Civics BeeĀ® State Finals at the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts on July 16, 2026. The event is open to the public, inviting community members to attend and cheer on these talented young civic leaders, with opportunities to participate in a live audience civics quiz.
