CCEC Webinar: Best Ideas from ACCE

Best Ideas from ACCE
In July, ACCE held its annual convention in Long Beach California - a Chamber professional development event attended by 800 delegates from across North America.  Since you all couldn't be there, we've asked four CCEC members to share with you the  the best ideas they could find at the conference. In one hour, you'll hear from:

Todd Letts (Brampton)

1. What is a chamber: short analogy for your next sales pitch
2. CCE - Certified Chamber Executive: why you should apply
3. Thank yous: hand-written - the secret to member retention - so why aren't you doing more?

Dana Walton (Kitchener-Waterloo) - best takeaways on sales and retention strategies.

Sonia Ziade (FCCQ) - highlights from keynote on « Expect to Win: 10 Proven Strategies for Thriving in the Workplace »

Penny Walsh McGuire (Charlottetown)

• Recruiting & Engaging Millennials
• Soft Skills Development
• Chambers & Foundations -how chambers could pursue economic development projects/initiatives through a foundation model
• Evaluating Entrepreneurial Ecosystems - how is your community doing in terms of support for entrepreneurs (Boulder Colorado Economic Council & Chamber Case Study)
•  Power Compass keynote (new power/old power model)

Join us for a unique event where four Chambers will share what they learned and provide ideas that you just might be able to apply in your own Chamber. (And don't forget, these events are recorded, so if you can't be there on Aug 29, you can still register and receive the recording.)

Speakers:
Todd Letts (Brampton Chamber, ON) - CCEC Past-President
Dana Walton (Kitchener-Waterloo Chamber, ON)
Sonia Ziade (FCCQ, QC) - new member to CCEC
