There are five types of programs chambers can consider launching through this initiative: Future Leaders Programs – These programs, often called “Future Leaders” or “25 Under 25,” are designed to recognize and develop young community members, even those not yet in the workforce. Chambers can partner with local schools or colleges to recruit participants and seek sponsorship from businesses or economic development entities interested in fostering young talent. Rising Stars Programs – Geared toward young professionals, this program offers a true development opportunity, focusing on leadership skills rather than just social events. Chambers can engage businesses to nominate up-and-coming employees for an 8-12 month cohort, building a prestigious class for young professionals. Leadership Programs/Alumni Programs – Whether you’re launching a new leadership program or enhancing an existing one, BetterCulture’s content can add true leadership training to programs typically focused on networking or civic engagement. Additionally, chambers can use the content to create leadership alumni programs, re-engaging past participants. Leadership Skills Programs – A focused, professional development program offering monthly 90-minute sessions on leadership skills. This model is popular in both larger and smaller communities, providing a streamlined, skills-based approach that requires less time away from work. Executive Roundtables – Chambers can use BetterCulture’s content to engage executive-level leaders through roundtables or business breakfasts, offering new, valuable programming for this crucial membership segment.
