Each chamber has it's unique culture so it's not a one-size-fits-all model. However, any advice or hands-on support we provide chambers of commerce is complimentary with no strings attached. So feel free to email me directly at joe@joeabraham.com if you'd like to brainstorm a curriculum for your chamber. Joe Ann

The article certainly causes us to think and re-think. We are going to seriously address what was addressed. Our chamber is only 6 years old and constantly looking for more effective ways to bring value and results to our members and make the chamber invaluable to the community and our members. I really like the idea of having a speaker for 12 month in a row. Social netowrking is certainly the way to go and appears to be the topic to address. Thank you.

We have thrown the old model out the door and are in process of implementing new one. Discovered in new economy, the old chamber model doesn't work becasue its too ineffective in its delivery. Product is still sound but delivery and messaging too slow. We begin new delivery model in July and ramp up through end of August. Would love a second set of eyes on the premise if you're willing> I feel the same way only more. We have thrown the old model out the door and are in process of implementing new one.

They are doing a great job helping its members ramp up on social media and I am offering help for an upcoming bootcamp. There were many in the group hesitant and worried about privacy. Once folks start engaging and seeing the benefit it opens their eyes. It does compliment what they are already doing but could redude their direct mail marketing substantially and create closer customer relationships. Mike D.
