Location: Dallas, TX
Professional development is the key to success for any chamber professional. Success in today's increasingly competitive marketplace and challenging economic times requires chamber professionals to stay up-to-date on management topics and chamber practices. The Center for Chamber of Commerce Excellence can provide the training, resources and network you need to develop your chamber career. Through a unique partnership with The University of Oklahoma and multiple regionally located state and local chambers, CCCE has been established to provide necessary skills and training to enhance your chamber's value to your business community. Guided by a Board of Regents of seasoned Chamber executives from a four-state area of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas, you're sure to find the resources, insights and developments you need to expand your career.
CCCE is in its 13th year of providing quality training to chamber executives and staff. We offer affordable training and instruction from a broad base of a four state regional network. You won’t want to miss this opportunity.
