- The Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce has been a vital link to businesses and visitors since 1969.
- The Chamber is proud to be the welcoming center and source of helpful information to thousands of residents, businesses and tourists each year.
- The Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce is a professionally managed corporation, whose function is business representation and involvement in the process of orderly growth and development of the community and area.
- The fact of the matter is, most people... business persons included, do not relate common business principles to the operation of a voluntary organization, even though that organization has a board of directors, articles of incorporation, marketing department, by-laws, public relations function, sales staff, research and development, and an administrative staff.
- The Chamber of Commerce is PEOPLE.... people who join together to solve common problems or advance programs which make this area a better place to live, work and to do business.
- Investment in the Chamber is a valuable asset, especially as a vehicle for involvement with the broad and diverse groups of community decision makers.
