Experience St. Joseph
Experience St. Joseph is a five-session welcome and orientation program for new resident executives and their spouses. The program runs annually from September - November. $250 registration.

Washington DC Fly-In
A delegation of local business and community leaders annually visit the nation's capitol as part of the Chamber’s Washington D.C. Fly-In. While in Washington D.C., the delegation meets with members of Congress, U.S. Senators, legislative staff and community lobbyists. The Fly-In is held in the Spring. $1,000 registration.

Community Exchange
Sometimes visiting other places gives us a fresh look at our own community. That is the premise behind the Chamber’s Community Exchange program. The exchange provides a group of community leaders the opportunity to visit a similar community to learn about initiatives and strategies that could potentially be adapted in St. Joseph. $500-$800 registration.

Public Service Candidate School
Held in the fall prior to a local election, Public Service Candidate School provides an opportunity for participants to be introduced to, and gain a working knowledge of, the local political process.
