The Waycross-Ware County Chamber of Commerce is proud to welcome Jami-Marie Storey as its new President/CEO.
Jami is a dynamic professional with nearly a decade of experience driving strategic initiatives, fostering organizational growth, and building meaningful partnerships across the community. With a collaborative, people-centered approach, she brings a diverse background spanning higher education, government, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.
Throughout her career, Jami has excelled at transforming big-picture goals into meaningful results. Her expertise in strategic communications, marketing, stakeholder engagement, and volunteer leadership has allowed her to bring people together, champion business growth, and create lasting impact.
A proud Georgia Southern University graduate, Jami holds a Bachelor of Science in Public Relations, along with advanced professional certifications that reflect her commitment to lifelong learning and professional excellence.
Originally from Waycross, Jami spent 13 years growing up in the community before moving to Savannah and later Washington, D.C., where she gained valuable cross-sector experience and advanced her career. Now, she is excited to return home, bringing with her a wealth of experience and, more importantly, a deep personal investment in the future of Waycross and Ware County.
As Chamber President, Jami is passionate about empowering local businesses, advocating for economic development, strengthening community partnerships, and creating opportunities for the next generation.
And she has a very personal reason for wanting to see this community thrive: her two-year-old son, Palmer, who represents the next generation of the community she is proud to call home.
Please join us in welcoming Jami-Marie Storey to the Waycross-Ware County Chamber of Commerce! We are excited about the energy, leadership, and vision she brings to our Chamber and our community.
Welcome home, Jami!
