August 2024 - Chamber Program during the North Luzon Chamber Development Workshop, which was held in conjunction with the 33rd North Luzon Area Business Conference in Cauayan City, IsabelaThe Adopt-A-Chamber Program represents a proactive and inclusive approach to chamber development, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, mentorship, and mutual support in advancing the interests and welfare of businesses within the North Luzon region. This program aims to empower Local Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCIs) to thrive, innovate, and drive positive change that benefits businesses, communities, and the broader economy by harnessing the power of partnership and collective action. During the launch, the pilot chambers participating in the program signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Bulacan CCI, the Metro Angeles CCI, and the Pampanga CCI as mentors and PCCI-Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Western Pangasinan, Metro Dagupan, PCCI Ilagan, PCCI Southern Isabela and PCCI Baguio Benguet as mentees. Bulacan CCI will mentor three (3) provincial chambers such as Bataan, Baguio Benguet, and Nueva Ecija. Bulacan CCI takes the challenge being chosen as a pilot mentor for the PCCI NL program as this is a significant achievement that highlights the trust and recognition Bulacan CCI has earned. Mentoring provincial chambers like Bataan, Baguio-Benguet, and Nueva Ecija is a great opportunity to share knowledge and foster regional growth. President Corina Tengco-Bautista signed the MOU in behalf of the Bulacan CCI.

During the Chamber Development Workshop, Bulacan CCI President Corina Tengco-Bautista took center stage to present the organization’s best practices in “Financial Health and Membership Growth.” Her presentation offered valuable insights and practical strategies that have been instrumental in Bulacan CCI’s success. BCCI continues to strive to achieve financial stability despite its outstanding status, membership retention and growth, as well as financial management are two areas of concern that have kept BCCI wide awake and kicking. What keeps BCCI anchored is its passion for service. CHAMBER WORK IS GOOD WORK.
