Academy-Plus is geared for veteran chamber executives, including those that have graduated from Academy and the U.S. Chamber's Institute program.

Academy-Plus will include two three-hour workshops on topics beyond  the usual curriculum presented at chamber association conferences.  The workshops will be held on Monday afternoon, August 3rd and Tuesday morning, August 4th at the offices of the California Chamber of Commerce in Sacramento CA.

Looking for professional development programming that’s new and exciting and goes far beyond the basics?

If so, this year’s Academy-Plus program may be just what you need.
The Academy-Plus program is presented for the continuous learning for veteran Chamber chief executive officers and Academy and Institute graduates looking for “what’s next.”

This year’s programming, held in conjunction with the association’s three-year Academy program, will be informative and stimulating and may even challenge long-established notions of the normalcy in organization management.

The Monday afternoon session on August 3rd will feature William Arruda, President of Reach Personal Branding.  His session is titled "Developing Your Own Personal Brand." In this day of celebrity brands and branded cities, it is not only becoming common, it’s essential, for senior executives to build and communicate
their personal brands to expand both individual and corporate success. In this presentation, William illustrates how executives can make an indelible mark on the organizations they lead while increasing corporate brand value inside and outside the organization. Leaders who align their values with the organization and capitalize on their
strengths increase their fulfillment while driving greater value for the business.

The Tuesday morning session on August 4th will feature Barry Moltz, author of "Bounce, Failure, Resiliency and Confidence for Your Next Great Success." Economic cycles come and go. We have been here before and survived. Cheer the good times with parties, awards and trophies. Mourn the bad times but then let go. Barry, who’s “crazy
about business and insane for success, ”demonstrates that developing the resiliency
to “bounce” through these cycles of good and bad times determines who ultimately will
succeed. Using real life business examples, he shows that with true business confidence, what actions we can take to face our fears, let go of shame and failures, be better risk takers, and define our own brand of success.

The cost for the Academy-Plus program – 2 three-hour workshops, breaks and the Academy evening event at the Pyramid Alehouse - is $300 per person.
Space is limited and expectations are that this year’s Academy-Plus program will be a sellout.

WACE members that are graduates of Academy, have been a CEO for five or more years or have graduated from the US Chamber Institute program are invited to participate in Academy-Plus.
