Chamber To Offer New Professional Development Sessions

CANTON, GA — The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce a new professional development initiative comprised of three stand-alone one-day sessions designed to assist attendees in developing professional skills through a variety of topics. From Emotional Intelligence and Strategic Planning to Business Ethics and Creating Culture, you and your team members will benefit from the takeaways offered through Emerge! The first of the three professional development programs, covering Emotional Intelligence, will be held on Friday, March 27. Tickets are available to both Chamber members and the public.

The Chamber’s "Emerge! A Professional Development Initiative" will be held on the Canton campus of Chattahoochee Technical College.

“We are looking forward to this new opportunity - and delighted to be able to hold it at our Canton campus,” said 2020 Chamber Chairman David Simmons, Vice President for Facilities at Chattahoochee Technical College.

The City of Canton is sponsoring the March program on emotional intelligence, which will be facilitated by Nancy Colter with The Training Edge. Attendees will take an emotional quotient assessment prior to the session in order to measure their emotional intelligence, which is the ability to sense, understand and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions to facilitate high levels of collaboration and productivity.

“The premise behind the coordination of Emerge! was to provide yet another opportunity for our members, and the public as well, to strengthen their decision-making strategies as our community works in tandem to continue to create an economically viable atmosphere in which to do business,” shared Chamber President & CEO Pam Carnes.

The day will begin at 8:30 a.m. with registration and continental breakfast with the final wrap-up at 4 p.m. There is early bird pricing ($99) for Chamber members who register by March 11. The pricing for Chamber members after March 11 will be $125. Future members may register for $150. Each registration includes an emotional quotient assessment, continental breakfast, lunch, and two networking/snack breaks.
