The Erie Ambassador program is designed to give community professionals a “behind the scenes” look at where Erie has been historically and what’s taking place to move Erie forward into the future.

Leadership is a very important business skill. Businesses rise, fall, or stall based on their level of leadership. Regardless of industry or location, if the level of leadership is increased, the business will grow and thrive.

The Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership is committed to helping our members develop their leadership skills, knowledge, and strategies. We are partnering with High-Performance, an HBK Company to conduct a 12-month leadership series that will give Erie area businesses a leadership edge.

The FIRE Accelerator is an annual 10-week global business accelerator program where participating companies receive tailored curriculum, funding, mentorship, and strategic networking.

In partnership with the Angel Capital Association, the Erie Regional Chamber launched and completed the first cohort of the ICE Angel Education program less than a year after receiving a federal grant to continue building Erie’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Twenty-six program participants received seven weeks training on the basics of angel investing. Courses were taught by world class instructors with decades of experience leading some of the highest performing angel funds in the United States.
