A Message from the President
It is both a pleasure and a privilege to have been selected as your NEACCE leader for 2009/2010. This dynamic organization provides the conduit for you to learn from your fellow Chamber leaders from throughout New England. Networking, sharing best practices, exchanging fundraising ideas, brainstorming membership strategies, and developing valuable member programs that boost your retention rate are all part of the NEACCE experience.
A benefit of NEACCE membership is your inclusion in the Membership Directory, which serves as the official “who's-who” in chamber of commerce leadership. Our website has comprehensive information about the organization and the latest updates on professional development opportunities, upcoming events, job openings, and more.
Annually, the best and the brightest Chamber leaders gather for the NEACCE conference. It’s not only the most informative 2 days you can spend, it’s also very affordable. The information shared and friendships forged at this event can be some of the most valuable experiences of your professional career—a real working session with proven revenue-generating ideas, an outlook on the economy, and lots of tangible tactics to help your chamber thrive in the months and years to come.
Despite challenging economic times, NEACCE remains an organization with the financial capacity and leadership to sustain and renew itself through the years ahead. Please consider sharing your knowledge, joining a committee and getting involved. With your participation and support, we will continue to help nurture strong Chamber leaders and an even stronger business community throughout New England.
Sincerely,
Lisa Konicki, Executive Director
Greater Westerly-Pawcatuck Area Chamber of Commerce
