The series includes an introduction video and six (6) modules in the areas that cover "All Things Chamber":

The "All Things Chamber" bundle provides pre-recorded material, averaging a hour per module split into several shorter videos for ease of training, plus downloadable notes pages of the power points and additional PDF documents. Participating chambers will also be invited to a private Facebook group for Q&A and connecting with fellow chamber members across the country. This versatile digital resource allows you to utilize the content for a comprehensive staff training or retreat or for individual training at your own pace. You will have access to the recordings through December 31, 2025.
