What is Learn from the Masters?

In the spring or summer, Learn from the Masters comes alive and brings chamber executives and staff together for a series of workshops on a variety of subjects relevant to the chamber industry today.  In 2008, we will be hosting 3 sessions bringing these workshops closer to home for all chambers. During the Learn from the Masters programs, chamber veterans lead discussions about best and worst practices across the state and guest speakers discuss a wide range of subjects with the attendees.
