Peer Network Webinar - Events Staff

Calling all Events Staff

If you organize events at your Chamber, don't miss CCEC's June 25^th Peer Network call designed to connect event staff from across the country. Organizing Chamber events can be a demanding job! We'll hear brief perspectives from a CEO and a Chamber Event Manager and then open the call to your questions, comments and best practices.
 
Stacey Murray, Event Manager, joined the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce in 2012 and is responsible for the set-up of the Chamber's 50 plus events per year, including seven major events such as the State of the Province Address, the State of The City Address, the Distinguished Citizen Awards and the Business Excellence Awards. She coordinates the monthly networking events such as Business After Hours and Business Over Breakfast. She recently completed the Event Management Extension Certificate at Mount Royal University.  Stacey will be sharing with us the guiding principles known as the 5-Phase Approach to Event Planning.
 
Rory Ring, President & CEO Sarnia Lambton Chamber of Commerce, will be speaking to the misconception that a successful event can be the answer to a Chamber's money woes.  That is sadly not the case. Events do not always make money for nonprofits.  Sure, they might generate some gross revenue, but when you look at the net revenue raised and the cost to raise a dollar, they break even if you are lucky and lose money if you are not.  And those two calculations, net revenue and cost to raise a dollar, if employed by more nonprofits, could transform how effective fundraising could be.
 
Moderated by Nancy Healey, CEO St. John's Board of Trade and CCEC Vice-president.
