Elisabeth Holt, Member Development Director at the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce, was among the 30 chamber executives to graduate last Friday from Academy, a professional development program presented by the Western Association of Chamber Executives (W.A.C.E.).

Academy is an interactive 3-day (three year) training program on chamber management essentials designed for today’s chamber executives and staff professionals. 

“We congratulate all of the graduates and their chambers for having the vision to invest in professional development,” said W.A.C.E. President Dave Kilby. 

During the three-year Academy program, graduates participated in 18 three-hour classes and must successfully complete additional independent study outside of the classroom. 

W.A.C.E is an association of chamber of commerce executives and staff professionals designed to promote and enhance professional development. With approximately 850 members from eighteen Western states and Canada, W.A.C.E. is the largest state or regional association of chamber of commerce executives in the United States.

The Regional Chamber is now seeking sponsors for the Annual Meeting & Awards Luncheon on March 27. The Annual Meeting is the "can't miss" event of the year, celebrating the accomplishments of the Regional Chamber, our volunteers and outstanding member businesses. Help us celebrate Regional Chamber businesses doing great things.

Sponsor incentives include:

• Booth space to market directly to attendees (CONNECTIONS!)
• Your company banner hung by the stage, to be seen by 600+ guests (VISIBILITY!)
• Your company logo in the marketing, including the Chamber newsletter, e-mails and social media posts (RECOGNITION!)
