Initiatives
State of Our Workforce: NC
The State of Our Workforce is a regional initiative with statewide ramifications. Launched first as a local study in the Triangle, today’s expanded program aims to help stakeholders like local businesses, educators, and community leaders better understand their workforce challenges through area-specific data. While the North Carolina Chamber Foundation will use the aggregate regional data to guide statewide decision-making, The State of Our Workforce: Western NC is solely focused on us and guided by a regional steering committee.
Programs
Women in Business
The Chamber’s Women in Business Committee aims to prepare women (and men) to be professional leaders in our community and to provide mentoring and support at all levels of business. The Committee coordinates and schedules Quarterly Luncheons on topics ranging from Personal Image and Branding to becoming a Financially Savvy Woman.
Leadership Haywood
Leadership Haywood has become one of the most prestigious organizations in Haywood County. Each year, a select group of local leaders learn not only what is going on in our business community but how they can make a difference. The program builds community relations through an in-depth view of cultural, economic, historical, social, educational, environmental, and government resources. The result is that the alums have made countless contributions to the community and its quality of life. Leadership Haywood connects participants with prominent civic, business, and government leaders.
Chamber Golf Tournament
The Chamber hosts an annual golf tournament in support of its initiatives. Golfers enjoy an afternoon of golf, lunch, a goody bag, and an opportunity to network with local business community members. The Golf Committee is responsible for pre-event and day-of coordination, sponsorship generation, and post-event follow-up.
