Councils

The Dallas Regional Chamber offers members the opportunity to become involved in specific areas of interest through our councils. Each council is focused on addressing topics that directly affect the North Texas region, serving as an opportunity for members to learn about current issues, build partnerships, and share their own expertise.

Job Shadowing

What do you want to be when you grow up? For most students, the answer to this questions lies within the careers and occupations they have been exposed to throughout their lifetime. This one-day immersion into the world of work helps to bridge the gap between education and the business community by showing students real-world occupations and the vast opportunities available after graduation.

In a fun, fast-paced, four-hour time span, we match businesses and organizations with local students and provide all the tools necessary for a successful experience. Job Shadowing is the perfect opportunity to reach out and target the workforce of tomorrow.

Principal Executive Partnership

Principal Executive Partnership (PEP) builds relationships between the business sector and public schools by pairing principals with business executives and covering current issues affecting schools. The program serves to develop mentoring relationships on a one-on-one level promoting growth between both parties. Each principal is paired with an executive to determine personal goals, exchange information and share leadership skills. In addition to regularly scheduled meetings with their coach and or principal, the pair also attends quarterly meetings among the entire executive coaching committee to discuss issues at the forefront of education, personal challenges and most importantly accomplishments.
