No matter the company size, if stakeholders no longer hold trust in a company or a CEO, the corporate reputational consequences are damaging, and can alter the future success of an organization.

So how can trust be built in business and CEOs?

The Calgary Chamber has partnered with Edelman, the world's largest PR firm, to present the findings of their 2016 Trust Barometer, a research report shows a growing trust gap between informed and mass populations to the local business community.

Join us for a discussion on this timely research, and how companies can build trust that leads to growth and sustainability.

The Alberta Government is currently considering what the next steps should be for the provincial minimum wage.

As this decision will have a significant impact on the province's business community, they've asked the Alberta Chambers of Commerce to help them gather input on what should be done.

Take 10-15 minutes to complete the minimum wage survey, and contribute your voice to this vital discussion.

Survey submissions are required by Friday, February 12.
