The remaining webinars in the association’s “Chamber Resilience” series will offer up several diverse topics that appear to be on the minds of chamber leaders everywhere.
“If you join us for the upcoming episodes of our webinar series, I’m confident you’ll be glad you did,” said Dave Kilby, W.A.C.E. president and CEO. “These topics seem to rise to the top in almost every recent conversation I’ve had with chamber executives.”
