The WACE Academy is built on a curriculum designed to ensure graduates are well versed in subjects that we believe are foundational to success as a Chamber professional.

The purpose of this survey is identify local Chambers that have strong programs related to some foundational (and emerging) topics and are willing to be a resource to others in our industry. At the same time, we also want to identify topics that Chambers feel they need help with to help direct our future training and educational offerings ... so be honest!

For each of the topics identified, give your Chamber a rating ... just how strong are you at Membership Recruiting, or Board Management, or Tourism Promotion, for example. Then, if you're willing to share and mentor other Chambers in that topic, share the name and contact information for your team member who would be the best first call.
