From Idea to Funded

They MAY qualify for funding since they are tools increasing your organizational capacity.

85% of executive leadership teams report they spend

less than one hour per month discussing their strategy,

and 50% say they spend zero time on it.

(Harvard Business Study)

​​

Let's talk about ensuring you don't fall into that statistic!
 
Hello Chamber provides strategic support for projects,
events and more in a way that can be packaged as
funding application-ready.
​​​
Below are some ways I can help.
​​​
​​

1/ Project & Event Facilitation
 

You're juggling a wide range of initiatives and your challenge isn’t a lack of ideas; it’s having the time and leadership capacity to move them forward consistently.

​

That’s where I come in. I can step in to lead, organize, and execute most Chamber projects, bringing structure, momentum, and follow-through without adding another full-time role to your roster.

​

If you’re wondering whether a specific project (or several) could benefit from my Chamber network experience, let’s talk. Book a time to discuss your priorities and we’ll quickly determine what makes sense and what doesn’t.

2/ 90-Day Plan Sprint

A short plan is better than no plan.

Don't have time to create a lengthy strategic plan?

Then the 90-Day Plan Sprint is just the ticket.

 

Bringing your team together for a regular meeting is hard enough let alone carving time out to develop a one or multi-year strategic plan. That doesn't change the fact you need to get things done though.

 

Enter the 90-Day Plan Sprint: A low-risk, fast-action way to cut through the noise that slows planning down. It comes in two formats:

 

  • Self-Paced Sprint 
  • Sprint Intensive​​

​​​​

Office talks

Fee:

Self-Paced: $499

Sprint Intensive: Custom pricing

*applicable taxes included

3/ Custom GPT Development
Designed to match your brand and needs.

Once you use AI to help develop projects, there's no turning back. However, designing a GPT specific to your Chamber - which will

always provide better content and conversation than a generic one -

is a BIG undertaking that most Chamber of Commerce leaders don't have time to make, even if they know how to do it.

 

Enter our GPT solutions:

 

  • The Chamber Voice Framework

  • The ChamberMind™ Thought Partner

​

 

Giving Chamber leaders thinking support that's available 24/7, they're trained in YOUR community voice without replacing your own judgment, because nobody knows your Chamber better than you!

​

The result? Your project materials will never sound AI-generated, which is a massive hurdle to overcome in our digital world.

​

Why Invest In A Custom GPT?

It keeps your personal touch intact while shaving hours off project and event management.

Concert & Public Speaking Events

With extensive event planning experience, I have created and managed several entertainment events ranging from rising stars to Juno and Grammy Award winners and public speakers such as John Cleese & Chris Hadfield.

"During her time as our Executive Director, Tara’s leadership allowed our organization to grow from representing just one community to seven. In addition, she coordinated a regional agriculture strategic plan
(including the launch of a food hub), helped launch two community
groups; developed a local shopping website; acted as our government liaison and much more.
 
Tara managed this as the Chamber’s only staff member and it’s obvious she's passionate about the economic development work that Chamber of Commerce's offer."
