365 Project: First Black Chamber Officer

Mid-January the Johnson City-Jonesborough-Washington County Chamber of Commerce appointed Robert L. White as secretary treasurer. The Johnson City native is now the first African-American to hold an officer position in the chamber. White’s post is the first of four in a succession to the chamber chair position. A consummate professional, this businessman is far from boastful. White says focusing on community involvement is the key to better business.
