The Athens County Foundation (ACF) invites you to our Annual Business Meeting on January 28, 2027 at the Athens Armory. This event is our opportunity to reflect on the business achievements and milestones accomplished during Fiscal Year 2026 and share our plans for the year ahead.
The Annual Business Meeting focuses on the operational and strategic progress of ACF, offering insights into how we are advancing our mission to build vibrant communities in Athens County. From updates on grantmaking and program successes to financial highlights and partnerships, this is a chance to see the impact of your support and our shared work in action.
The business meeting and presentation portion of the event will be from approximately 12:15 to 1:00. The remainder of the event will be for networking, mingling and tours of the Armory.
While our celebration dinner—A Celebration of Community—will be held later this spring, this business-focused gathering is an important touchpoint for those interested in the Foundation’s strategic direction and continued growth.
We would love for you to join us and help shape the future of Athens County.
The annual meeting will be held at the Athens Armory. Lunch will be served. Both metered street parking and free parking at The Masonic Lodge at 12 W. Carpenter St are available.
