WCCE Annual Conference & Retreat

Leadership: It Starts With You! Embrace your authentic purpose to passionately lead with innovative vision. The WCCE Annual Conference & Retreat provides an opportunity for local chamber executives from across Wisconsin to learn how to be a more effective community leader by developing professional skills and, ultimately, growing the local chamber. This year’s professional development conference will focus on YOU! We’ll take time to talk about how meaning matters – people don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it. The three-day event will provide the right tools to help you prioritize what’s important and be an authentic leader. Large and small group discussions will include conversations on your chamber’s responsibilities, membership, workforce, education, advocacy, events and more.
