EPIC

EPIC (Emerging Professionals Impacting Cullman) is a group encouraging young professionals, ages 21-39, to become involved in the Chamber and in their community. We hold four quarterly socials and the occasional "takeover" at area hot spots, and are diving into philanthropic projects around the community through the newly formed EPIC Helps.
