MACCE - Maine Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives

Thanks to Kim at the Midmaine Chamber in Waterville

for hosting the
MACCE Conference in May 2007

This conference was designed for and produced much information relevant to our work. We discussed the state of Chambers in Maine and nationally through two discussions entitled “Changing roles and faces of Chambers;” and “Leading in changing times.” The Maine State Chamber and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield discussed the new BlueOptions Health plans. We heard from a variety of organizations we have each interacted with including: The US Chamber, Maine Innkeepers', ME State Chamber and ME Tourism Association. The final panel discussing more current issues facing Chambers was well done and could have gone longer if the time had not run out. Again, thanks to Kim and staff for a great time.
