Innovative management, membership & project ideas for progressive Chambers of Commerce
Our monthly newsletter gives you tools, ideas for a better Chamber!


    

The Chamber Executive Network

is a popular, concise,
     targeted six-page advisory newsletter for Chamber of
     Commerce managers in the U.S. and Canada. Subscriptions
are $179 for 12 monthly issues with a $20 discount for website orders. Articles emphasize projects with proven success records — many of which execs can enact in their own Chambers right away. Sources are listed for further information.

     Each issue contains a four-page main section covering general Chamber topics, plus a special report section which explores a specific Chamber issue in greater detail. Expanded reports are issued periodically and an annual index is published at the end of each calendar year. Subscribers are encouraged to save the newsletter in a three-ring binder, which makes a handy and valuable reference when used with the annual index.

          What you get when
            you subscribe...

   Practical ideas that work! We search the continent each month to bring you “good ideas that work” from sharp Chamber execs. We look for first-class fund-raisers, creative membership campaigns, timely tourism tips, effective retail promotions and innovative project ideas to help revitalize your Chamber.

   A newsletter that pays for itself. Our articles tell you how to boost dues income, cut expenses and throw better fund raisers. It’s a no-fluff Chamber seminar delivered to your desk every month for a fraction of the cost.

   Great sources!
Most CEN articles list a connection for more information. These are hard-working Chamber execs who are glad to share ideas. Plus they become career-enhancing contacts!

    Build a valuable reference book.  Smart CEN subscribers save each monthly issue in a three-ring binder. Add our index at the end of the year and you have your own Chamber reference.

   Free national publicity. When your ideas appear in the CEN, nearly 1,000 Chamber execs in the U.S. and Canada take note. That promotes you, your Chamber and your community!

   Respect for your time. Our six pages pack a wallop because we cut to the heart of topics. Execs tell us 20 minutes with the CEN is better than two hours of wading through dozens of magazines or reports.

   An editor willing to listen. We encourage subscriber calls to discuss Chamber problems or projects. Our editor is experienced in Chamber work, accessible and writes from the heart.
