STELLAR's Terry Purdy announced that the recommended goal was $1.6 to $1.8 million, and that the higher figure was aggressively pursued. The campaign was finished as March came to an end with a total of well over $2 million and counting. Congratulations to the leadership of the Greater Rome Chamber of Commerce and the entire STELLAR team.

Add Program Relevancy for Greater Success
