Chamber Innovation Contest

Add a description ChamberMaster and Startup Local are sponsoring an innovation contest for chambers that could see you win $1,000. All you have to do is pitch your innovative program, event, or idea that is producing big results for your chamber and making a positive impact on your local community. In addition to competing for the $1,000 Grand Prize, all entrants will receive: a review of your chamber's membership model and 30 minute consultation with Cathi Hight from Hight Performance Group; a get-in free coupon to Frank's next training webinar from Frank J. Kenny; and one virtual consulting session with Jay Handler from Membership180.

CEO members are familiar with Cathi and Frank's work. Both have been recent speakers at our annual conferences.  Click on Chamber Innovation Contest to find out more.   
 
On The Move
 
Brampton Board of Trade is on the search for a new CEO. Steve Sheils, who has been in the role for approximately 3 and a half years has many accomplishments to be proud of during his tenure, including an innovative project currently underway mapping the youth entrepreneurial ecosystem in Brampton. The Board expects to have someone new in the CEO role by end of year. Steve has agreed to stay on in a consulting role during the transition.


Carol Wilding will be leaving the President and CEO role of the Toronto Region Board of Trade, later this fall. After 7 and a half years with the Board, she will be taking the helm as president and chief executive officer of the newly formed CPA (Chartered Professional Accountants) Ontario.
