Chamber Leadership Academy (CLA) Program Pivoted to Online Experience

Chamber Leadership Academy (CLA), our youth Chamber program, takes our personal development programming to the next level by partnering with local chambers of commerce, area municipalities, elected officials, and business leaders to turn a city into a classroom.

CLA Online is very similar to the original CLA program.
CLA Online is a 3-day program administered through Zoom with each day anchored by a central theme and a closely associated leadership skill set. CLA Online will take students on behind the scenes virtual tours of local businesses in their communities. Students will also hear from panels of community leaders with varying career backgrounds willing to share their experiences and advice.

CLA Online is an action-based model that gives students an experience unlike any other at a critical period of their development. We set aside the traditional classroom instruction and utilize locally-based resources and success stories. This structure gives students tangible applications of 21^st-Century skills, local models for success, and an enthusiasm to continue to participate in developmental programming.

TURNING A COMMUNITY INTO A
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

A Journey of Self-Discovery

What surprised me the most about myself is the type of personality I am. We went over four personality types: amiable, analytical, driver and expressive. While I fit pretty exact to the amiable personality, I realized that I have qualities from all four of those personalities. I thought that was interesting, because I not only really fit into an amiable characteristic, but also fit well with others.

Thank you for my wonderful experience at the Beachwood Chamber Leadership Academy (that has changed my way of life and how I look at the world). The program has been truly helpful, and has taught me a lot about people and myself…Again thank you for teaching me to be a better Leader in Action.

David Kim, Beachwood Chamber Leadership Academy
Before this program, I had an idea of what my personality was, but this program has helped me learn how my type of personality works with people of other personalities; it’s really eye-opening. In general, I have learned how to be more confident in myself and not to be afraid to step out of my shell.
