Chamber Academy is an educational workshop geared toward business owners, entrepreneurs and young professionals. Community experts present on various topics like down-to-earth “how-to’s” and “best practices” to more abstract topics like collecting and leveraging data, exploring what it takes to create an inviting and productive work environment, and taking legislative action on issues important to your business.

With an educational focus, this event is a great networking platform for new and existing Anchorage Chamber members. Chamber Academy is held monthly at the Anchorage Chamber Board Room, or the presenter’s place of business, if preferred, from 11 am to 12 pm and includes light refreshments. Max 30 attendees. This smaller group setting encourages participation and open discussion with attendees.
