Jay Byers was a highly requested guest to have on Chamber Chat Podcast. As Jay leads the Greater Des Moines Partnership (#DSMUSA) and is the current chair of ACCE, it was a pleasure to have him on the show.
For this episode, we focused our discussion around the idea of how your Chamber can tell the story of your community by leveraging your rankings. There are many resources and media outlets who conduct surveys, do the research, and produce lists to showcase the “best” cities in certain categories.
Is your community showing up on any of these lists? Are there lists that you would like to compete for a ranking on? Do you see any similar or competing communities on these lists?
Jay tells how The Partnership has been able to leverage some of their rankings. He even talks about how they get their members and community to engage and to help in telling their story by using the hashtag #DSMUSA.
