Professional development seminars

CCPA’s professional development seminars cover a wide array of topics, all geared toward helping you hone your personal skill set, and increase your business savvy. Seminar topics include:

  • how etiquette can effect your bottom line and how to use it to your advantage,
  • how to negotiate to create win-win results, and
  • how to empower, motivate, and reward your employees without money.
We are always open to suggestions for new seminars, so if you have ideas, please e-mail us or call 215-545-7766. We’re waiting to hear from you!

Educational Seminars

Educational Seminars In addition to CCPA's professional development seminars, we also conduct educational seminars to keep you up-to-date on what you can and must be doing to remain competitive and compliant. Topics include:

  • how to track consumer trends and use them to gain a competitive edge,
  • how to market like the big players on a small business budget, and
  • how to voice your opinions on zoning, taxes, and other important City issues.
As with our professional development seminars, we are open to suggestions. If you've experienced (or would like to avoid) a situation that is relevant to other local business owners, share your thoughts with us. And be sure to review both our upcoming and past events - we just may be one step ahead!

Low-cost orthotics from Your Benefit Programs

Do you wear high heels, stand on your feet, or suffer from pain in your lower back, knees, hips, feet, or ankles? You may be a prime candidate for YBP orthotics. As a CCPA member, you can enjoy an improved quality of life at a very low cost. CCPA's orthotic benefit program is NOT available to the general public, and enables our members to realize significant savings as most health insurance plans and Medicare exclude orthotic coverage.

CCPA members, family members, and employees receive up to 40% off from prevailing retail prices in the YBP discount program. Contact CCPA at 215-545-7766 for a brochure and an order form, or visit www.yourbenefitprograms.com for further information.
