WATERVILLE — Brandi Meisner, vice president of operation at Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce was selected to participate in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Business Leads Fellowship Program.
The program trains and equips leaders from state and local chambers of commerce, economic development agencies, and trade associations with resources, access to experts, and a network of peers to build their capacity to address the most pressing education and workforce challenges.
“Workforce is one of the largest issues that our members face. I am excited to be part of this program to learn innovative ways that we can help them solve their workforce challenges,” Meisner said.
Following a competitive application and selection process, Meisner was selected, along with 34 other state and local chamber executives, economic development professionals, and association leaders to participate in the seventh class of the program. The six-month program, consisting of both in-person and virtual meetings, will cover the entire talent pipeline, including early childhood education, K-12, postsecondary education and workforce development.
Upon completion, Business Leads Fellows will join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s network of more than 250 chambers of commerce and statewide associations from around the nation who regularly engage on education and workforce initiatives.
