News Bites Executive Edge Is leadership development within your organization a priority that needs attention? Do you have executives or emerging leaders on your senior management team that you have identified as key to your success? Are you seeking strategies to improve your own effectiveness as a leader within your organization? The Scottsdale Area Chamber can assist you in developing leadership skills through our Executive Edge program. Executive Edge is a confidential and exclusive peer-to-peer advisory panel designed to provide real solutions to the real problems you are facing in your business. Executive Edge is designed for CEO’s, Senior-Level Executives and Emerging Leaders who are working “on” the business versus “in” the business, by bringing together 8-10 individuals from diverse industries and backgrounds who meet monthly to discuss matters of business and personal interest. Meetings are structured and follow a strict protocol to ensure the integrity of the information exchange. Groups are led by a trained facilitator who is responsible for ensuring productive, stimulating meetings and reinforcing the ground rules of engagement.

Volunteer and Gain Valuable Exposure As a membership-based, volunteer-driven organization, we rely on our volunteers to help advance the Chamber’s mission and vision. As members of the Scottsdale Area Chamber, our volunteers have the opportunity to lend their knowledge and support to a number of committees and advisory councils -from being an Ambassador, debating public policy, developing business and educational programs or guiding economic development in Scottsdale! Serving on a Chamber committee or advisory council is one of the best ways for our members to gain additional exposure for their business, leverage themselves to get in front of their target audience and have a voice at the table to help shape the Chamber.
