Rob Bradham, President & CEO of The Greater Dalton Area Chamber of Commerce is our guest this week. Rob talks about things that Chambers should be thinking about in order to stay relevant with the generational shift that is taking place in the workforce. Some of the areas he addresses are being on the tip of the spear to solve the problems in your community and to give more of a purpose to membership for the younger generation of decision makers that are in your community now.
As Rob shared ideas from the Dalton Chamber’s strategic plan, the areas of focus to stay relevant centered on the areas of:
- Community Pride
- Downtown Development
- Economic Development
- Educational Outcomes
- Entrepreneurial Growth
- Housing
In the area of Entrepreneurial Growth, Rob briefly shared the story of a young man named Tripp Phillips who is from Dalton. Tripp landed a deal on Shark Tank with Kevin O’Leary for his company that produces water soluble Lego brick glue.
