The Jane W. Baggett Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes an individual who has spent a career or lifetime making our community better, and Bonnie Hullett embodies all of these things. Bonnie is no stranger to our local Chamber, serving for over 20 years with the Chamber of Commerce. She started working with the Chamber years ago as the office secretary. She later moved up to serve as Executive Director of the Chamber. During her tenure, she saw record growth of the Chamber, success of multiple events such as the Great Steak Cook Off, Big Cat Quest, Jeff Davis Farm City Day, and countless others. She positioned the Chamber as the premier business and community leader and advocate. Even at non-Chamber events, you could find Bonnie and her late husband, Oscar, helping out. For her unwavering support of the Hazlehurst-Jeff Davis County Chamber of Commerce, her years of service to our community, and her passion to make Jeff Davis County a better place for all of us, Bonnie Hullett has been awarded the highest honor our community bestows as the recipient of the 2024 Jane W. Baggett Lifetime Achievement Award.
