ATTENTION!!! Calling all new chamber professionals!

It's time for AEDCE's annual New Chamber Professional Boot Camp!


Being a chamber professional can be a little overwhelming - especially if you are new to organization management and the chamber industry. The New Chamber Professional Boot Camp is a two-day crash course on Oct. 22-23, 2024 that will expose you to many aspects of being a chamber professional.


The program is ideal for anyone that works at a chamber of commerce in any capacity, including chamber volunteers such as the board president/chair and volunteer leaders.


During the course, you're encouraged to ask questions and will receive input from other professionals with proven ability in the field of chamber operations.
