Cara Paris Named Administrative Professional Of The Year By Chattooga Chamber

The Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce is recognizing excellence in the workplace, naming Cara Paris as its Administrative Professional of the Year.

Paris, who has served for decades in the District Attorney’s Office, was honored for her dedication, professionalism, and ability to keep operations running smoothly in a fast-paced legal environment.

According to the Chamber, Paris has built a reputation for maintaining strong working relationships across all levels of the judicial circuit, while demonstrating exceptional organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills. Her ability to manage complex responsibilities and keep cases on track has made her an invaluable part of the office.
