The Greater Dalton Chamber of Commerce hosts its “Good Morning Dalton Economic Development Breakfast” on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 at the trade center. Gretchen Corbin, deputy commissioner for Global Commerce at the Georgia Department of Economic Development, is the keynote speaker.
Corbin was named deputy commissioner for Global Commerce at the Georgia Department of Economic Development in January 2011. Corbin leads Georgia’s Global Commerce team to increase jobs and investment through locating and expanding businesses, as well as increasing international trade and small business. The Global Commerce team includes statewide and existing industry project teams, the international trade team, small business and Georgia’s 10 international offices.
Corbin has worked with the Georgia Department of Economic Development since 1998 and has served in many capacities, including division director for International Operations and director of project managers for Existing Industry & Recruitment. Corbin led Georgia’s international team as they opened the state’s office in China, and implemented the start of the SEUS-Canadian Provinces Alliance.
In additional economic development roles, Corbin has worked with the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Cartersville–Bartow Chamber of Commerce.
Corbin is involved in a number of professional and civic organizations, including Leadership Georgia and Rotary International. A native of Georgia, Corbin was born in Athens and raised in Cedartown. She graduated with a management degree from Clemson University and from the University of Oklahoma’s Economic Development Institute.
