What an incredible few days at Mohegan Sun! I had the pleasure of servicing as Chair of the New England Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (NEACCE) this year, and one of the highlights was bringing over 90 Chamber professionals from throughout New England here to Connecticut for our 2026 Annual Conference!

It was an amazing conference! Thank you to all of our Chamber colleagues who joined us for two days of professional development, networking, sharing ideas, and connecting with peers who understand the work we do. There is nothing like bringing Chamber professionals together to learn from one another and return to our organizations energized with fresh ideas!

For the first time this year, we introduced a dedicated Membership Development track. It was a big hit and will continue engaging Membership staff going forward at future conferences. A special thank you to our Membership Team—Karen Halloran from the Hamden Regional Chamber, Laura Gorman and Nancie Gray from the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Kate Kobs from the West Hartford Chamber—for their hard work organizing the panels and helping bring this new component to life!

Congratulations to Tony Sheridan from The Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticuton receiving the NEACCE CEO of the Year Award! So well deserved, Tony! We were proud to recognize and celebrate your leadership, accomplishments, and contributions to the Chamber profession.

A huge thank you to our outstanding presenters, including Kyle Sexton from ChamberThink Strategies, our panelists, facilitators and sponsors, for sharing their expertise and inspiring us to think differently about the future of our Chambers. And to our own Dale Kroop who a great session on Foundation Fundamentals. And to our generous sponsors, thank you for supporting professional development for Chamber leaders throughout New England.

To our wonderful NEACCE Board of Directors, thank you for all your help, dedication, and support in making this conference such a success. It truly takes a village, and I'm grateful to work alongside such an amazing group of Chamber professionals.

Karen and I are returning to the Hamden Regional Chamber with new ideas, renewed energy, and an even greater appreciation for the relationships we've built throughout our industry. Proud of this profession, proud of what we accomplished together, and grateful for the opportunity to serve as NEACCE Chair!

Here's to continuing the conversations, strengthening our Chambers, and putting those great ideas into action! ~Nancy
