The theme for this year’s conference is “Empower, Elevate, Evolve: Building Resilient Chambers for Tomorrow.” The event is focused on strengthening the resilience and sustainability of COFACC and its partner member organizations. It provides a forum for organization leaders to gain essential tools and strategies to adapt to an evolving landscape. We will also honor the outstanding leadership and contributions of various Chamber Partners, highlighting their role in chamber growth, community development, and cross-chamber collaboration. Likewise, we would be celebrating the graduation of the 2024 Spring & Fall Batches of BCMC Graduates.
