The Chamber, Leading Business in Cabarrus

Get ready to level up your team dynamics at our Team Building Summit on October 23rd at the Cabarrus Center! Kick off the day with Nonprofit Board Training from 9am-12pm, led by Andi Stevenson, founder of Stevenson Wallace LLC. A sought-after expert on nonprofit boards, Andi has created and launched four governance training curricula, taught corporate teams nationwide how to be positive ambassadors for their companies through nonprofit board service, and provided conflict resolution and individual coaching for executive directors and board chairs. After that, take a break and enjoy lunch at a local downtown Concord restaurant (we highly encourage it!). The afternoon is packed with excitement! Drop in any time between 2pm-4pm for the Nonprofit Showcase and Team Building Breakouts, where you can connect with local nonprofits to discover how your team can volunteer and make an impact together. Plus, we've lined up interactive team-building demos from Luck Factory Games and Capstone Climbing and Adventure, guaranteed to bring the fun while strengthening your team's collaboration. These breakout sessions will occur at 2pm, 2:30pm, and 3pm so you're able to check out both amazing businesses!
