The Cobb Chamber Area Councils represent six geographical areas of Cobb County: Cumberland, East Cobb, Marietta, Northwest Cobb (Acworth, Kennesaw, West Cobb), Smyrna and South Cobb. Each council meeting has a common focus to promote business, the community and the interests of local business owners and professionals. The meetings are geared toward timely and relevant issues each area is currently facing. All area council meetings are held three times per year and are open to the public. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is the Series Presenting Sponsor for all Area Councils.
