Refreshed & Relevant

2009 will usher in exciting changes to Chamber programming and events in 2009. The name of the Early Bird Breakfast is officially changed to Business for Breakfast. As the most popular ongoing Chamber event, we are introducing healthier options with a breakfast bar, extended networking time with a later starting time, pre-printed nametags for faster check-in and corporate table options available for purchase.

We will present forward thinking, relevant topics of interest to businesses today. In the coming months we will hear from Jim Dunlap, Regional Group President for Huntington Bank about the “Four months that Redefined the Financial Services Industry and the Impact on Main Street, USA.

Rich Studley, President of the Michigan Chamber; Peter Varga, CEO of The Rapid; and Mark Griffin, President of the Michigan Petroleum Association, will join us in March to discuss Michigan’s transportation issues at the breakfast entitled; Michigan Transportation: Tragedy or Triumph.

Areas of future focus to include ecotourism and “green collar jobs”, a “State of the Cities” report from our mayors, local leadership in higher education, and energy independence.

We look forward to a great season at the Business for Breakfast events!
