Overview

The CHCC Leadership Program has been developed in partnership with JFK University and the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC) to improve the overall leadership and operational effectiveness of all CHCC Chamber Board Members and Operational Managers, and the Small Business Entrepreneurs they support as part of the CHCC and local Chamber mission.  The ultimate beneficiaries of this program are the small business entrepreneurs and local economies that will benefit from the improved competencies, knowledge and skills of Chamber leaders and management in the areas of leadership, operational management and decision making.

The overall objectives of the CHCC Leadership Program are to:

  • Develop overall awareness and capability of CHCC Chamber Board Members in their official Board capacity to more effectively lead their Chamber through sound governance, formulation of strategic plans, and effective use of Parliamentary Procedures to get work done.
  • Empower Chamber Management and staff with a common set of skills, tools and processes that allow them to improve the overall day-to-day management of the Chambers they serve relative to the program, volunteer, marketing and communications management.
  • Establish best practices and a common set of tools and techniques in the areas of financial management and fundraising to support the long-term sustainability of local Chambers.
