We speak. Elected officials listen.

At the Chamber, you have your own lobbyists that will work for you and help your business. Whether that means advancing policies or helping cut through red tape with different government agencies, we’re here to work for you. As a member, you have a seat at the table to help craft the priorities of the West Michigan business community. We back up our words with action!

• 3rd Grade Reading Legislation

• Increased Funding for the Skilled Trades Training Fund
• Autonomous Vehicles
• Ratio for Electrician Apprentices on Job Sites
• Grand Rapids Food Truck Ordinance
