The Jan Baxter Memorial Fund was launched last year in celebration of the life and legacy of Jan Baxter, who passed away in 2017. To honor Jan’s legacy, the Chamber established the fund for Andersonville Entrepreneurs. The program provides free business education, technical assistance, mentoring and pop-up space to one awardee per year. After receiving talented and compelling applications, we are excited to announce our third awardee – Trey Elder of Quiet Pterodactyl. You may know Trey from his GM days at Jerry’s Sandwiches.
