Jackie Wall, the executive director of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce, recently expanded her knowledge of the chamber network by graduating from the Chamber College Level 2 training program in Saskatoon.

The Chamber College was created as a partnership between the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce and the Chambers of Commerce Executives of Saskatchewan (CCES), as a means to provide chamber leaders with knowledge in key areas, including non-dues revenue, membership, bylaws, finance and event planning.

Level 1 is an introductory level for new chamber managers, while Level 2 provides a greater depth of knowledge to more experienced chamber leaders. The Chamber College concept is the first of its kind in Canada.

“The Sask. Chamber and CCES wanted to expand on our innovative Chamber College Level 1, by giving managers who have some experience in the chamber network additional tools to move forward,” said Steve McLellan, the CEO of the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.

“This critical training will serve the chamber’s members by giving leaders a firm foundation on which to grow these networks.”

“The Chamber College program is incredibly valuable, and it will enhance the outcomes of my role as executive director,” said Wall. “The Estevan Chamber of Commerce in my community is critical to having an engaged business sector, and I’m confident that the training will help me become even more productive.”

The Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce represents the interests of 10,000 businesses across the province through the chamber network.

The CCES is the professional development association for senior management and staff of Chambers of Commerce in Saskatchewan.
