The Chamber
“Achievement of Recognition” By: Carolann Peters
Business Development Chair,
Program
League City Regional Chamber
The League City Regional Chamber of Commerce,
realizing the importance of increasing knowledge for
its members and the businesses in our community, has
instituted an educational program with the Business
Development Committee. The committee has
developed “The Achievement Recognition Program,”
a series of educational seminars to provide the
opportunity for businesses and their employees to
learn, grow and run more successful businesses in our
community. The seminars consist of three seminar
series with presentations by Chamber members
and some professional speakers that are authorities
on many topics of interest. The committee will send
surveys to our members and surveys at our meetings
to find topics of interest in the community.

Knowledge is golden! The only constant in business is change.
A business must always keep their eyes and direction on
the vision and the future. Steve Jobs, a visionary, was always
looking to the future for his customers and anticipating their
needs in advance. He revolutionized the music industry with
the iPod and photos with the iPhone. Kodak, on the other
hand missed an opportunity by looking back rather than
forward. To maintain a competitive edge, businesses have to
focus and maintain a growth mindset and continue to increase
knowledge.
An article in Entrepreneur says:
“Your business on only as strong as the people behind it. There’s
a direct correlation between individuals who strive for growth in
their personal lives and those who thrive in their professional lives.
This can be accomplished by committing to the concept of lifelong
learning, it’s more important than ever to stay current, competitive
and up to date.”
Attending and participating in The Achievement Recognition
Program will give you not only opportunities to learn from
authorities but also networking opportunities. Five benefits of
networking are:
1. Shared knowledge
2. Opportunities
3. Connection
4. Increased confidence
5. Raising your profile by being visible
