The chamber industry is in a state of accelerated evolution and
maintaining relevance in this environment is increasingly challenging. But, it
can be done, as demonstrated by the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon Chamber’s (Ill.)
aggressive and rapid structural turnaround over the last few years. Since
adopting their strategic plan in 2014, the chamber has downsized its board from
24 to 9, transitioned from a working board to a policy-focused board, formed a
political action committee, adopted a tiered dues structure and more. In this
interactive workshop, geared towards small staff chambers, learn about what
inspired the change and gain tactical takeaways and strategies for
success.
