Small Town, Big Chamber

Jacob Meacham has spent his last eight years working to better his hometown. He served as the Vice President of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce for over seven years. He spent 2-1/2 of those years also serving as the Executive Director of the Lake Martin Innovation Center, a business facility that provides office space, co-working membership, meeting areas and high speed internet for local small businesses and startups. Since last November, Meacham has served as the President and CEO of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce.

Despite dedicating so much time to the economic development of the community, Meacham often understates his own role in the positive outcomes. He places the credit elsewhere: among his coworkers, local business owners and everyday members of the community. This humility is what makes Meacham an ideal candidate for representing Alexander City’s economic interests at the state level, where he recently was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama.
