Welcome to Best Practices for Chambers of Commerce
Former Chamber President helping Chambers of Commerce grow membership, strengthen boards, and increase community impact through practical, real-world strategies.
"Watching their eyes light up when a member realizes exactly how the Chamber has impacted their company makes it all worthwhile. I’m a former Chamber President who now works alongside Chambers of Commerce as a trusted advisor. I help CEOs and boards solve real challenges—membership growth, governance alignment, staff effectiveness, and strategic execution—using practical solutions grounded in lived Chamber experience." - Ellie Braxton
