Denver Metro Chamber introduces Manager Summit, partnership with Mountain States Employers Council
DENVER – The Denver Metro Chamber of
Commerce has partnered with the Mountain States Employers Council (MSEC)
to offer a new annual event aimed at providing its member businesses
with more expansive training opportunities.
The inaugural Manager Summit is a
day-long interactive program, designed for all levels of managers, and
will offer engaging workshops facilitated by a number of qualified
session hosts. It will take place on Thursday, July 26, from 8 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. at Mountain States Employers Council offices at 1799 Pennsylvania St., Denver.
The event will provide how-to tactics
to improve managerial skills. Participants will walk away with action
steps and methodologies for immediate implementation. Discussion topics
include: beating the budget, understanding and managing your boss,
overcoming obstacles to high performance teams, difficult dialogues,
performance reviews that work, generational issues, promoting your ideas
within an organization and how to hire and fire your team.
Rob Rose, engagement manager for the
Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, said the program was developed to open
doors and create connections for managers and to educate them about
opportunities and strengthen their skills.
“Working with Mountain States Employers
Council was a natural fit because of what they do – they train people,”
Rose said. “This program will open the door to other options for our
attendees.”
“We are pleased to partner with the
Denver Metro Chamber to provide training opportunities for the business
community,” said Mike Severns, president and CEO of MSEC “One of our
core competences as an organization is our commitment to delivering
high-quality programs to enhance employees’ skills. We know that, as a
result, businesses with strong employees will become more successful.”
“Our participation with the Chamber and
joint launch of Manager Summit is a win-win for everyone involved. We
look forward to providing a content-rich summit with meaningful training
for the participants,” Severns added.
Rose said he hopes the event will not
only familiarize attendees with the breadth and scope of training
offered by MSEC, but also to the ongoing peer support programs offered
by the Denver Metro Chamber.
Rose pointed to the Chamber’s Manager
Exchange program as one that provides long-term and lasting
opportunities for managers to share best practices and grow their
abilities by learning from one another across a variety of industries.
The Manager Exchange program provides a
confidential forum of peers to discuss mutual challenges and impact
their companies’ bottom lines through participation in 8- to 12member
groups that meet monthly in a roundtable discussion format.
He said the partnership was developed
to assist metro-area businesses in employing the best-trained and most
knowledgeable leaders possible.
Event sponsor Ken Greenberg of KLG
Consultants LLC said he hopes this annual event will be the beginning of
a paradigm shift in how businesses train their employees.
“I think it is critical in all levels
of any organization that managers and leaders be constantly learning.
They have to come up with ways to make themselves learning
organizations,” he said. “This platform, for a very low price point,
gives managers the chance to be a part of a world-class learning event
focused on the challenges they are facing right now.”
