In this episode of Uplevel University, we chat with Christine Welcher, the Executive Director of the Monona Eastside Business Alliance (MESBA), about the value of joining professional groups, especially Chambers of Commerce. We break down common myths about Chambers of Commerce, and Christine shares some key insights about how a group like MESBA can benefit solopreneurs, small businesses, and other retail entities. Kelly Noel shares about their experience as a MESBA Ambassador, and we also touch on how being part of a Chamber of Commerce (where there's free education, networking, and leadership opportunities) can be an added benefit/perk to a company.
