The Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance has opened registration for the 2022 Northern Michigan Policy Conference that will take place on January 14 at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City.
Tickets are available for purchase for $35 at bit.ly/nmpc2022. The Alliance represents a coalition of 16 chambers and economic development organizations and over 7,000 member businesses from across northern Michigan.
Now in its fourth year as a policy conference after serving as the Alliance’s annual agenda-setting meeting for years, the Northern Michigan Policy Conference is designed to leverage diverse strategies to enhance the northern Michigan region’s standing as a world-class place for business, residents, visitors, and students of all ages.
“The Northern Michigan Policy Conference helps launch northern Michigan policy needs to the forefront, enhancing our grassroots advocacy efforts and strengthening our relationship with Lansing,” said Sarah Van Horn, the President of the Charlevoix Area Chamber of Commerce and incoming Chair of the Alliance. “Bringing our regional business owners and municipal leaders to the same table with state legislators provides the opportunity for cohesive solutions that our Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance can continue to advance in our everyday work.”
This year’s policy conference will be a collaborative, business-driven experience delivering actionable goals to energize and provide vision. With opening remarks from Governor Gretchen Whitmer and U.S. Senator Gary Peters, the conference content will focus on the Alliance’s four policy areas in the context of economic recovery.
Following a keynote address by Gabe Rodriguez-Garriga, the Vice President of Business Leaders for Michigan, there will be two panel discussions on innovative approaches to business development, talent, housing, and childcare in northern Michigan.
