(Milwaukee, WI) Well, the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce DID it! They added not one - but TWO - young professionals to their executive committee… WITH FULL VOTING POWER. I want to give them a special shout-out in my blog today because it’s clear that the Chamber in Birmingham is making a place at the table for the next generation. They’re following a simple business principle: if you want to REACH a market, you have to ENGAGE that market. In Birmingham, the Chamber is intent on being a part of the talent attraction and retention solution. Engaging the next generation is a critical first step in doing so.
PLEASE NOTE that the Chamber could have made these seats non-voting positions. But they didn’t; they went all the way. Congratulations, Birmingham, for engaging the next generation in this formal way!
Yes, the Birmingham Regional Chamber of Commerce is a client of Next Generation Consulting.
