Liz Horton is the Senior Vice President at the Greenville Chamber of Commerce. She has over 18 years of Chamber experience with the past three years being at the Greenville Chamber. In her three years in Greenville, their Chamber has experienced many changes. It is with this background of change that Liz joins us for this episode to discuss ways to manage changes at your Chamber.
Some of the changes that Liz has recently experienced include implementing a new tiered dues membership model, a new strategic plan, staff realignments, and they sold the Chamber building and moved to a new location downtown. We also discussed some of the changes that may be on the horizon for Chambers as we start to recover from the COVID-19 economic slow down.
Some of the key strategies that Liz suggests that should be included when managing any change are, effective communication, buy-in from partners, and the importance of getting stake holders involved with the decision making process (especially those with differing opinions).
