Successful ChamberBoard ReTREAT Facilitation
Successful Chamber is a division of Inspiration Agents, Inc. “Inspiring Positive Change”
Far from boring Board Retreats..... “Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember;
involve me and I will understand.” - Chinese Proverb
Perhaps no meeting each year is more important than the first meeting
of the new board. Whether a formal retreat or orientation, this meeting sets the stage for the entire year.
The Successful Chamber Board ReTREAT engages your board in
interactive role play to ensure they not only understand their role as a
board member, but that they are fully engaged in the process.
By experiencing first hand the situations they will encounter, board
members are more likely to enjoy their term, be fully engaged, and be
consistent with the mission and vision of the chamber. Based upon your goals, this program can be fully customized to range from a short
workshop or keynote to a multi-day event.
Fully Customized Program Features:
• Mission and Vision Statement
• Thinking Like a Board Member
• Board Governance
• Member Recruitment
• Fiduciary Responsibility
• Robert’s Rules of Order
• By-Laws
• Communications Strategy
• Board Liability
• Team Development
• Succession Planning
• Goal Setting
• Understanding the Market
• Why Members Join
• Development of Plan of Work
• Identifying Opportunities and more
