Chamber Retreat

Asheboro / Randolph Chamber's Annual Planning Retreat Sponsored by:  Randolph County
Join us at Wrightsville Beach, NC for a great planning retreat that combines both serious work and serious fun.  Friday's sessions are focused on our Community Partners, and hearing about two new initiatives in our community that will really make a difference!  Saturday's session will be presented by Jay Handler of Membership 180.  Jay is an internationally known Chamber membership development expert, and the one that led our Spring 2017 Membership Campaign that brought in 98 members in just 2 days!  He's got an inspirational message about how we can all work together to make Asheboro and Randolph County a great place to live, work, and do business.  This year's theme is "Right Here Randolph".
