Leonardo McClarty, President of DeKalb Chamber of Commerce was excited to collaborate with Global Consultants, LLC to create a Merchant Partner Program designed to help increase revenue for all participating Chamber members. This Merchant Partner Program produced an initial shipment of 5000 letter size image piece / presentation folders and they will be distributed to every single commercial, residential and prospective client we serve. In addition, we will distribute these folders at business expo’s and many other professional meetings.

Jackie Ginn, VP of Chamber Membership, was a tremendous support to the Merchant Partner Programs success. By devoting time to ensure that newly recruited Merchant Partner Participates understood all of the benefits of becoming a Dekalb Chamber of Commerce Member. The DeKalb Chamber membership has a long history of working with the rich tapestry of businesses, people and organizations that give the county its leading economic standing in the metro area.

The support shown for the Dekalb Chamber of Commerce Merchant Partner Program allowed for donations to the DeKalb Chamber Foundation, a 501c3 organization created to foster education activity, community development, and economic development in DeKalb County.

"Inspiring Education and Community"

Global Consultants LLC recently established a Community Development Project for a local Fulton County School. Global Consultants assisted Paul D. West Middle School and local community initiatives by establishing them within the Merchant Partner Program. The support of local businesses to this project was crucial in these times of budget cut-backs and merchants found true value in the ability to support their community and the opportunity to receive the endorsement of the organization. Such relationships are a "win-win" for the organization and the partners!

As an addition, Global Consultants LLC partnered with Dream-Maker Kids to inspire the children to dream, grow, and prosper through increased awareness of the connection between education and prosperity. This partnership created an opportunity for Paul D. West Middle School to obtain Vision boards specific to the students' chosen career path. The Vision boards provided by Dream-Maker Kids helped motivate and empower the students towards being successful and also following their career dreams.

Mill Creek Football

Global Consultants has recently established a Community Development Project in our own backyard, Dacula. Through this program, Global Consultants will assist Mill Creek Football & their local Community Initiatives, by establishing them within the Merchant Partner Program. The support of local businesses to this project is crucial in these times of budget cut-backs and merchants find true value in the ability to support their communities and the opportunity to receive the endorsement of the organization. Such relationships are a “win-win” for the organization and the partners! As an established merchant we invite your support for the Mill Creek Football, TouchDown Club.

Mill Creek Football is well known within the Hamilton Mill neighborhood and surrounding community. The athletes and coaches hold various fundraisers throughout the year in which the entire community participates. Mill Creek Football fan base is probably the biggest in the county, anyone near the area tries their hardest to come and watch Friday nights. These fans that support the athletes on Friday nights also come out and support the players through their numerous fundraisers. These fundraisers create synergy within the community because the family and friends of the football players get to know their local merchants; this is a win-win situation.
