This week, our guest speaker is Shelley Zorn, president and CEO of the Thomasville Payroll Development Authority. Shelly was scheduled to be our speaker in July but she was ill and unable to be with us. We are thankful that she's able to join us this week!

At the PDA, Shelley manages industry recruitment, retail recruitment, and existing industry support for Thomas County, and she has done so for 11 years. She has more than 20 years of economic development experience as well as 15 years of banking experience, specializing in commercial lending and marketing.

She will discuss the current state of economic development in our community.
