Patrick Ellis, President & CEO of the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber is our guest this week to discuss why it is important for Chambers to diversify their funding sources beyond membership. For some Chambers, this could mean contracting economic development work or tourism. For others it could mean accessing grants or other types of sponsorships. Patrick does a great job explaining different options to give some ideas as to what your Chamber can do to stay relevant while continuing to fund your organization going forward.
