We have many experts in our membership community. One of the initiatives we want to launch is a member mentoring program. We are looking for members willing to donate 1-2 hours per month, counseling, consulting, or advising other members or prospective business owners.
For example, you donate the first Tuesday of every month from 1-2pm. The expertise we are looking for is; Marketing, IT, Accounting, Taxes, Legal Questions, Human Resources, Operations, and any other area of business you believe you can help with.
We are building the system, but need to know how many of YOU, are willing to be scheduled in for our #bacc2work consulting services!
Just send an email with your interest, expertise, and what time could be scheduled. We won't commit you to anything until we have a solid program to launch.

We have honored Leona VanBuhler for years by naming the Chamber Member of the Year Award after her. In April we notified you of her passing. We have just been notified that her husband Ray VanBuhler passed away on August 18th at the ripe young age of 94.
Ray was also a tireless volunteer at the Chambers of Commerce, and we are sure many of our current members remember his efforts. May they both rest in peace.

MICHIGAN'S RECOVERY ON 2-TRACKS ... |
Automakers sold 16.9 million units in 2019. RSQE projected 13.8 million sales this year and 15 million in 2021. Ehrlich projected 16.1 million units will be sold in 2022.
“Just as a point of comparison, we had 10.4 million light-vehicle sales in 2009, so you can see we are forecasting that the market will hold up better than it did in the Great Recession,” Ehrlich said.
