CHAMBER EDC'S NEW PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRACKS

The Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC has created a series of professional development ‘tracks’ for its members.

Initially, three tracks have been created: Leadership training, Soft Skills, and Business Operations. “Developing the Leader Within You 2.0” is available thanks to a partnership with Maxwell Leadership and will be offered quarterly throughout 2023. The ten-week mastermind training is a virtual course, facilitated by the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, which will provide Chamber EDC members with tools for success as they become leaders for the first time!

The other two tracks offer a unique combination of content from the Chamber EDC and Bismarck State College (BSC). Previously, the Chamber EDC had hosted professional development sessions through its Business Development Series. Those that fit under the business operations and soft skills tracks, have been included and are available for Chamber EDC members to watch on their own schedule. Additionally, professional development offerings from BSC that fall under these tracks are now available to Chamber EDC members at a discounted rate.

The Chamber EDC will look to add even more professional development content under these initial three tracks and more in the future. Whether that be through related content developed by partners in higher education or through original content generated by Chamber EDC members and offered through the Business Development Series.

Available online to Chamber EDC members at www. bismarckmandan.com, the new professional development tracks are yet another resource for the more than 1,200 Chamber EDC Members. For questions or more details, contact Lyndsey at lscheurer@bmcedc.com.
