Chambers
Continue Providing Covid-19 Leadership
[et_pb_section admin_label="section"] [et_pb_row admin_label="row"] [et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text admin_label="Text"] None of us could have imagined when the Covid-19 pandemic began that we would still be dealing with the challenges of it today. But that is the reality of the situation for you and your members, both as business owners/leaders and as individuals....
Psychology Drives Sponsorships
How you think about your chamber member businesses and their life cycles can make a difference in their responses to you when you speak with them about sponsorships. It is vital that you understand a bit of psychology and their needs before you speak with them about how sponsorships with...
Plant Seeds of Business Growth in Your Community
The “chamber field” is ready for a lot of planting right now in order to have solid business growth later. Businesses are exhausted, fatigued, confused, wondering, questioning, unsure…and the list goes on. They’re looking to us, as Chamber professionals, to make sense of it all. If you actively spend time...
How Will You ‘Reset’ Your Chamber?
Have you found yourself wanting "things" to be the way it was pre-pandemic or perhaps you are tired of the mixed emotions you are still experiencing? Well, you are not alone! Recently, I was listening to a message about being intentional post-Covid and that we must allow ourselves to grieve and...
Sponsorship Successes Celebrated
Chamber professionals are known for adhering to a strict “R&D” operating procedure. If you don’t know R&D, you are either outside of the chamber world or brand new. “Rip Off & Duplicate” is one of the best ways to gather new sponsorship ideas for your chamber. Another way to gain...
Are Your Events Truly Hybrid? It’s More Than Just Adding a Camera

Strategic Reviews of 2020
It’s been a year since we all began to experience the Covid-19 pandemic in personal ways. We talked about ‘expecting the unexpected’ and about how to ‘pivot’ (one of our favorite words for 2020) and how to continue to serve your members and communities in the midst of what felt...
Strategic Thinking: Networking
In these early months in 2021, we are focusing on strategic thinking. That’s right – strategic thinking, not just strategic planning - though they go hand in hand. You have to be thinking strategically in order to do the important work of the planning for your chamber or organization. All...
Strategic Thinking Leads Strategic Planning
Strategic planning and strategic thinking are not the same things. Having the same meetings year after year and carrying over the same plans with minor tweaks is often ineffective for a chamber and frustrating for chamber staff. It doesn’t take long in the chamber world to realize that strategic planning,...
2020 Gave Us the Unexpected & What We Learned
As we look to the new year (with great relief to let 2020 go and great hope for 2021), we know that we cannot fully prepare for the new without pausing to take stock of the old. Without a doubt, 2020 was the Year of the Unexpected. I doubt any...
