Muskegon Chamber President Recognized as Chamber Professional of the Year!

The Michigan Chamber of Commerce Executives (MCCE) organization recognized Cindy Larsen, President of the Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce, with the Michigan Chamber Professional of the Year Award. Larsen was selected through a competitive process with other state chamber of commerce professionals for her demonstration of high professional development and leadership standards. Larsen was selected from four chamber executives in Michigan to be named Michigan Chamber Professional of the Year.

The Michigan Chamber Professional program requires recipients to meet minimum criteria in three areas annually. Candidates must demonstrate excellence in Professional Development, Professional Service, and Organizational Performance.

Under Professional Development, candidates for the Michigan Chamber Professional Award earned points for continuing education efforts; for Professional Service, points were earned by serving on local or professional boards or by having articles published; and Professional Performance points were earned for membership growth, the quality of their communications pieces, unique or innovative programs, and advocacy efforts in their respective chambers.

Along with her service on nearly two dozen community service organizations, Larsen also serves on industry association boards including the Michigan Chamber of Commerce Executives, West Michigan Chamber Coalition Board and Government Advocacy Committee, Muskegon Area First, and Muskegon Main Street organizations.
Larsen demonstrated significant accomplishment in public speaking and outreach to the media and leads the Muskegon Area Chamber of Commerce on innovative program paths using new technologies. She has also been an active business advocate, working with lawmakers at the local, state and federal levels.

PLEASE HELP US IN CONGRATULATING HER FOR BRINGING OUTSTANDING RECOGNITION TO THE MUSKEGON AREA!!

Thanks! Great to see people using the blog. I may be on Wood TV tonight talking about the economy. Tryed to be positve, yet honest about what is happening. Tough to answer questions about what is going on out there these days.
