Chamber Retreat 2019

Asheboro / Randolph Chamber's Annual Retreat
Join with like-minded business and community leaders in a relaxed and casual atmosphere, getting to know one another outside "work", and focus on making Asheboro and Randolph County a great place to live, work, and do business.  We will gather at Wrightsville Beach, NC for our annual tradition that combines a little bit of work and a whole lot of fun.  

You'll leave the Retreat with at least one strategy you can immediately put to positive use back at the office!

This year's topics/speakers include:

• Natalie English, CEO of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce:  Sharing lessons learned from their Hurricane Florence experience, and tips for disaster preparedness.
• Apprenticeship Randolph Panel: Rick Powell (Pemmco Manufacturing, Chris Harrington (Elastic Therapy), and Angela Galvan-Cruz (Thomas Tire) talking about how they are successfully growing the next generation of employees.
• Zac Beane (Nationwide-Art Martinez & Associates), McCall Sink (Blase Chiropractic & Greystone Consulting):  Covering the benefits of building and sustaining great workplace culture, managing a multi-generational workforce, and recruiting & retaining millennials.
• Community Partner Updates: City of Asheboro, Randolph County, Randolph Health, Randolph County EDC, Randolph County Tourism Development Authority, North Carolina Zoo, Asheboro City Schools, Randolph Community College, Randolph County School System, and Uwharrie Charter Academy.

Watch for announcements in the coming months for fun activities being planned outside of the Retreat sessions.

Both the dress and atmosphere are CASUAL!  No neckties or pumps allowed. :)

There are a few surprises planned - so get signed up and don't miss out!
