Chamber Leadership Academy Meeting

Join the Chamber Leadership Academy for an opportunity to network with Chamber of Commerce executives, share best practices, and plan which topics CLA will address next year.

An initiative of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Chamber Leadership Academy (CLA) brings together senior executives from Chambers of Commerce across Chicagoland to facilitate the sharing of information and best practices.

Through workshops, educational resources, and networking, CLA empowers local Chambers to become stronger champions for their local businesses.

Featured Speakers

Center Director | Illinois Small Business Development Center at the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce

Interested in joining the Chamber Leadership Academy?
Launched in 2002 as a way to align the Chicagoland Chamber’s resources with the needs of neighborhood Chambers and community business associations across the region, including Chicago’s most underserved communities, the CLA expanded its scope and reach in 2019 as part of a broader organizational effort to drive greater inclusion. Today, executives from all 130+ Chambers across the region are invited to participate in our meetings, workshops, and seminars throughout the year—free of charge. 

For more information or if you are a Chamber of Commerce professional who is interested in participating, please contact us by emailing programs@chicagolandchamber.org.
