Happy New Year, 2025! It's our 10th year anniversary!
Imagine a world where it's just as easy selling across metro regions and borders as it is across the street. That's our vision with a team of Executive Directors, Global Advisors, regional advisory board leaders, board chairs, Deputy Directors and other team members everywhere that seeks to grow global business - exporting, importing and investing - anywhere.
Global is good!
Prosperity, mindfulness and peace are natural results of trade. And our members around the world, in every city and corner are AMAZING, GLOBAL and UNSTOPPABLE!
We seek members and leaders for our team that have six primary characteristics.

- She/he is an entrepreneur, handling multiple roles well. She usually has another business she's managing and that's perfectly OK to juggle... in fact, our best Executive Directors thrive in this world, leveraging one business with another... creating win-win-wins.
- She/he is responsive, has good operational abilities and is a giver. She knows how to prioritize, lead and get things done. She takes responsibility and communicates well to the people she is working with... including our global team, even while juggling many 'balls in the air'.
- She/he enjoys selling and is a good salesperson of services. She doesn't necessarily 'love' sales, but she is passionate and persistent to ask questions to find needs that match up with our value proposition. She's a passionate giver with a tribe of followers.
- She/he is comfortable with global business. She/he knows how business works and has been involved with cross-border business. She is comfortable working with top executive and can speak with them as an equal.
- She/he is comfortable leading within their region. She loves her metro and wishes to stay there for the foreseeable future. So part of what drives her is the advancement of success of companies, organizations there. She is and wishes to become a regional leader.
Our team tends to be leaders who go well beyond what is expected by members to make thoughtful connections because we think that the more we give, the more we get... now and over the long term. It's a feature and a benefit for being in the global tribe! We care, and we give.
Ours is a diverse team that looks like the world's population... advancing equity, diversity and inclusion. This approach increases innovation, growth and success! And it's interesting and fun!!
Our team includes...
Executive Directors who set up our chapters. These leaders often have another business or two that they effectively handle while ramping up their chapter. They are multi-taskers, business and community leaders, and amazing people... one in a million.
Global Advisors help us find Executive Directors and fill in the connecting role until an Executive Director is set up for the metro area. For instance we often reach out to global advisors in a region to moderate a panel or to make a connection for a member.
Deputy Directors support the success of the chapters... with business services, selling and operational support. Usually Deputies are in place with an Executive Director. We have some other roles like this, and we're happy to find the right position for you.
Advisory Board members support the success of regional chapters by supporting our Executive Director, Global Advisor(s) and others leading the charge to grow Global Chamber® globally.
Advisory Board Chairs help lead the advisory boards in metro chapters around the world. These leaders have become more and more important to our growth worldwide, a two-way beneficial relationship.
Young Global Leaders are members who are already changing the world in a good way.
And more!
