We are all constantly bombarded on every side with noise and messaging, most of which we don’t even ask for. With all of this noise, we can lose sight of what matters most. And what matters most is people. As leaders, we must evolve and change with the culture, but we cannot sacrifice our humanity. Leadercast 2023: Human Intelligence will help leaders embrace that they are ultimately leading people, not simply a company or an organization. Cost is $80 per person for chamber members ($105 for potential members). Ticket includes live broadcast program, lunch, continental breakfast, snacks, refreshments, bag of goodies and prizes. Register by emailing info@alpenachamber.com. Interested in sponsoring this event? In a world that’s gone digital, leaders need human intelligence. Speakers include:

  • Andy Stanley
  • Eddie Ndopu
  • Erika Keswin

  • Dr. Radhika Dirks
  • Stephanie Chung
  • Jeremie Kubicek

** New this year – we will have a leadership book exchange. Bring books to trade with others.

Joining the Chamber of Commerce has been helpful to our non-profit in so many ways. The Social Media workshop that was hosted in conjunction with the Community Foundation has changed the way we market and use social media to benefit our clients and supporters. Chamber membership is well worth the investment–I am sure it has paid for itself each year we’ve been a part of the Chamber! I look forward to growing with the Chamber of Commerce as our non-profit continues to expand our services in the future. Chamber Membership is vital for growth and longevity within the community!

The chamber offers a lot of value for the area business community and we are happy to support that.

I invest in the Alpena Chamber because it allows me to grow as a professional. The Chamber offers tools needed to expand my knowledge of local businesses, provides resources that I can use and allows me to network with like-minded individuals. I became a board member so that I could get involved and give back to a community that has given so much to me and my family.”
