Brandom Gengelbach is a really hard name for me to say, especially when my name is Brandon, but he was a great guest to have on Chamber Chat Podcast. Brandom is the President & CEO of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce.
Brandom and I had an interesting discussion about the modern Chamber and what that means. He focused his comments on three specific areas:
- Economic Development vs. Membership
- Merging economic development & membership benefits
- Storytelling
I also really liked his response to my question about how he sees the future of Chambers of Commerce. Brandom says that Chambers should be looking to solve the problems that are holding their members back.
