Press Release

Frequently Asked Questions

We are proud to announce the formation of the Alpharetta Business Council (ABC), a new entity within the Greater North Fulton Chamber (GNFCC). As part of this transition, the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce has officially dissolved as of July 1, 2025, and all its members are now full members of the GNFCC—with added benefits and reduced costs.

This strategic move follows the successful formation of the Milton Business Council, a proven model for uniting local business communities under the GNFCC while maintaining their unique identity and voice.

What This Means for Alpharetta Businesses

  • All existing Alpharetta Chamber members will automatically become a members of the Greater North Fulton Chamber.
  • Members will receive full GNFCC benefits, including access to regional resources, events, and programs.
  • Alpharetta members will automatically be enrolled in the new Alpharetta Business Council, giving them a dedicated platform for Alpharetta-specific programs, networking events, and initiatives.
  • This change eliminates the need for dual memberships, reducing the financial burden on businesses while increasing access to professional support and broader regional influence.

Preserving Local Identity with Regional Strength

The GNFCC is a 5-star Accredited, professionally managed Chamber of Commerce with the staff, infrastructure, and expeirence to support the growth and success of member businesses. Through the Alpharetta Business Council, we are committed to preserving the local culture, energy, and spirit of Alpharetta. 

With strong participation from local business leaders, a dedicated ABC Board, and support from GNFCC’s seasoned staff, the Alpharetta Business Council will ensure Alpharetta continues to thrive—on its own terms and with greater resources.

Join the Leadership 

As we launch this exciting new chapter, we have a transition board of Alpharetta Chamber Board members in place through the end of 2025. This fall, we will invite nominations for the 2026 Alpharetta Business Council Board (ABC). This new ABC board will help shape the direction of the council and ensure that the voice of Alpharetta's business community remains strong, engaged, and influential. We want you to help guide the future of business in Alpharetta.

A Stronger Future Together

The creation of the Alpharetta Business Council under the GNFCC umbrella strengthens both organizations and offers more value to Alpharetta businesses. It’s a win-win for local entrepreneurs, professionals, and the entire North Fulton region.

Thank you for being part of this exciting journey. We look forward to building a vibrant, connected, and prosperous business future—together.
