Headquarters\n9:00AM\nRegistration, Coffee, and Networking\n\n9:30AM\nWelcome and Introductions\n\n9:45AM\n Part One: Leadership Before Strategy\nThe day opens with a March Forth keynote, which sets the leadership foundation required for effective chamber work. It introduces key concepts such as the difference between “owners” and “occupants,” the role of clarity and personal agency in preventing leadership drift, and the responsibility to protect mission, goals, and people. This keynote establishes a shared language and mental framework that guides the rest of the day’s work.\n																															\nKyle Sexton\nSpeaker, Author & Marketing Strategist, ChamberThink Strategies\n11:00AM\n Part Two: Strategic Chamber Leadership Discussion\nNext, the group will participate in a guided, hands-on leadership and strategy discussion using the Chamber on a Mission framework to clarify focus and reduce dilution across people, programs, and priorities. The discussion will define the chamber’s true mission, distinguish internal priorities from external expectations, and outline what success should look like over the next 12–36 months. The session’s core purpose is alignment—across leadership roles, between staff and board, and between effort and outcomes.\n																															\nKyle Sexton\nSpeaker, Author & Marketing Strategist, ChamberThink Strategies\n12:00PM\nLunch (Provided)\n1:00PM\nContinue Part Two: Strategic Chamber Leadership Discussion\n																															\nKyle Sexton\nSpeaker, Author & Marketing Strategist, ChamberThink Strategies\n2:00PM\nPart Three: The Business of the Chamber\nIn the afternoon, the focus shifts from leadership mindset to the operational realities of running a chamber as a business, drawing from Kyle’s upcoming book ChamberThink. The session covers practical areas such as membership operations, revenue systems, retention and onboarding, sales and marketing processes, communication workflows, staff roles, and consultative thinking. Participants will leave with actionable frameworks and tools that can be applied immediately in chambers of any size or market.\n																															\nKyle Sexton\nSpeaker, Author & Marketing Strategist, ChamberThink Strategies\n3:00PM\nClosing and Adjourn\n                                    PricingLodgingSponsorship Opportunities \nMonday: Boot Camp \nWCCE Members = $50                                                   Non-Members = $75\nTuesday: Conference\nWCCE Members = $250                                                 Non-Members = $325\n*Conference pricing includes registration for up to four individuals from a local chamber\n \nCancellation & Substitution Policy:\nCancellations must be submitted in writing 7 business days prior to the event date for a full refund.
