Development and execution of what keeps
your Chamber funding and investment ready. 

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.

1/ Strategic Plans & Project 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.

​

That’s where I come in. I'm able to step in to lead, organize, and execute Chamber projects, bringing end-to-end structure, momentum, and follow-through without adding another staff member to your roster.

​

If you’re wondering whether a specific project (or several) could benefit from my Chamber network experience, let’s talk, 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?

 

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 and

may be eligible for funding.

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."
