9am: Networking
Networking with your peers from across the Commonwealth fosters collaboration, sparks new ideas, and builds valuable relationships that strengthen both individual success and collective impact.
10am: Speaker Series - Embracing the Squiggle
Guest speaker Colleen DelVecchio
Let?s be real?life rarely unfolds in a straight line. From the very start, Colleen?s
journey has been a squiggle, beginning in foster care, navigating unexpected career pivots, and even launching a business just six months before a global pandemic. But instead of resisting the twists, she?s learned to embrace them?and she?ll show you how to do the same. This message is especially important for chambers, who must adapt, pivot, and lead through uncertainty while inspiring others to do the same. Get ready to embrace the squiggles and turn every twist into an advantage!
11am: Chamber Exchange
Chamber Exchange is a valuable one-hour session focused on asking questions,
sharing ideas, and learning what other chambers are doing, while gaining insight and feedback from your peers on your own challenges and initiatives.
Noon: Lunch
