KEEP EDUCATED, KEEP CONNECTED

With seminars and online training available through the Michigan Chamber, you and your employees can keep on top of the issues and be as competitive as possible. Chamber membership also brings plenty of opportunities — from the Chamber’s Future Forum & Annual Meeting to Leadership Michigan to golf outings — to connect you with businesspeople that can help move your business forward.

Opportunities to Learn and Network

Just as our business advocacy in Lansing is focused by the input of members, so too is the creation of the many educational opportunities the Michigan Chamber delivers. Those opportunities include professional development seminars in tax and finance, such as one dealing with the new Michigan Business Tax; and on a wide variety of human resources topics, such as wages and health savings accounts. Others involve safety and environmental compliance, such as electrical and forklift safety.

Training, Certification Online

Economical online seminars include a vast number of topics — business management and administration, web design, accounting and hazard recognition to name just a few. You and your staff can also can become certified in human resource, environmental and safety compliance programs that, when completed, affirm your business’ commitment to continuing education and compliance.

Making Business Connections

Through Leadership Michigan and the Future Forum & Annual Meeting, the Chamber provides leadership development training and opportunities to discuss issues important to our state and its economic health and future. In addition to keying on important statewide issues, these venues provide excellent opportunities to meet and interact with business and government leaders from all over the state.

Member policy committees provide another forum for interacting with others with similar interests, including health and human resources, tax policy and environmental quality. Participation also puts you in a position to have an impact on legislative positions that the State Chamber advocates. Some opportunities to connect are less formal, such as the annual PAC II Golf Outing.
