Learn. Connect. LEAD.
LEAD by Local is an educational program presented by the Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce and it's members. The program features continual opportunities for learning, connecting, generating leads, and developing professionals.
LEAD by Local series events begin with an educational session presented from members of the community - business leaders, community champions, industry professionals, and more. These sessions aim to inform and prepare business owners, employees, residents, and visitors alike on the advertised topic.
LEAD by Local series events conclude with networking and sharing between attendees. During this time, each attendee can share a service that they have, a need they are looking to fill, an upcoming event or promotion, or a general offer about your business or area of expertise. This formal networking time allows for generating leads and connections for all in the event!
"It was a great informational morning with invaluable information and networking! I appreciated time well spent at an event!" - Lead by Local participant
