The Voice of Business in Government
The advocacy team continues to achieve results that power the economy throughout the region and state working directly with lawmakers and elected officials as legislation and policy is developed. It convenes key conversations around changes needed to drive economic development and support the Chamber’s signature industries from automotive to smart manufacturing to defense.
On the national level, the Chamber engages Michigan’s congressional delegation and works in collaboration with the Great Lakes Metro Chambers Coalition to elevate issues that impact economic growth throughout the Midwest and beyond. Through the MichAuto program, the Chamber also brings a unified voice to statewide and national policy conversations for Michigan’s entire automotive industry.
