Present Your Expertise with the Chamber

We are putting the call out - we want YOU to be presenters at our workshops. We know our Chamber members are well-informed, subject matter experts in their respective fields - so don't be shy. One of the best ways you can connect with other members is by learning from and teaching one another. That's why we want you to get involved in our Chamber Academy and Business Brown Bag workshops - as attendees, AND as presenters.

The Chamber’s Business Brown Bag and Chamber Academy workshops are designed to provide members with valuable knowledge for professional and business development, at small cost of time and money. If you are a Chamber member interested in presenting your area of expertise for a Chamber Academy or Business Brown Bag workshop, contact Laureen Voirol at (260) 424-1435 or
lvoirol@fwchamber.org.

Chamber Academy sessions are 2-hour, in-depth informational seminars presented by leading professionals on cutting-edge and critical business topics. The presenter interacts with attendees and helps them apply the material to their particular business situation and issue. Chamber Academy workshops are relatively small (less than 20 attendees allowed), allowing for a personalized and beneficial experience. Sessions are typically held from 8 – 10 a.m. at the Chamber, and the cost is $19 for Chamber members.

The Chamber’s Business Brown Bag Series provides the opportunity to receive a brief lesson on a variety of relevant business topics over the lunch hour. Local professionals have presented on topics including Networking, Marketing, Sales, Social Media, and Business Etiquette. Business Brown Bag sessions are typically one hour long, and attendees are encouraged to bring lunch to enjoy during the workshop. Each session costs only $5 for Chamber members and $10 for non members.
