Chamber Self-Audit
Discover How To Reclaim Time and
Increase Funds
What is this audit?
A simple, guided collection of ten questions that provide a snapshot of ways your Chamber can save time and money when the team is aligned.
Just because you think you're on the same page doesn't make it true.
That's where this practical check-in helps. It sparks real conversation because now you’re not talking about ideas in passing. Now you’re answering thoughtful questions together that:
-
Makes everyone feel included
-
Highlights where time is being lost
-
Identifies where burnout is creeping in
-
Shows where efficiencies can be made
​
​In short: It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and encourages you to take a deeper look into how you can make the most of your time and funds.
Your math tells an important story.
Here's an example:
- A full-time staff member typically puts in 160 hours a month.
- A board of six members (average) contributes about 40 hours, bringing your Chamber’s total monthly workload to 200 hours.
- Even without staff, a volunteer-led Chamber still relies on those 40 board hours to keep everything moving.
- A 20% efficiency improvement would free up:
-
40 hours a month for staff-led Chambers - an entire extra work week.
-
8 hours a month for volunteer-led Chambers with no staff.
​
What would you spend that extra time doing, aside from maybe extra sleep?
​
Those saved hours will be game-changing once you decide what to do with them!

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.
