Maryland Chamber of Commerce Strategic Planning

 Chamber of commerce organizations with small full-time staffs, a volunteer
 board of directors and many, diverse business members, can experience a lack
 of focus. The Maryland Chamber of Commerce is state’s leading statewide
 business advocacy organization and has 830 member companies who employ
 more than 422,000 people throughout the state.

 In June 2007,Capuco Consulting Services planned and facilitated a two-day
 retreat for the Maryland State Chamber of Commerce's Strategic Plan
 Development. Representatives from chambers of commerce, educational
 institutions, and non-profit organizations (many of which are on the CA list)
 were convened for a series of meetings to identify 3-year goals for the MD
 Chamber organization—one of which included detailed development of
 milestones in environmental outreach and conservation stewardship. CCS
 prepared all handouts, facilitation and stakeholder discussion summary
 documentation.
