A Letter from our Presidents

On July 1st, 2009,  the Greater Grandville Chamber of Commerce and the Jenison Chamber of Commerce are officially merged. We are excited for the direction of the Grandville - Jenison Chamber of Commerce ("the Chamber"), and look forward to working with the Chamber's Executive Director, Sandy LeBlanc, and our fellow Board Members.

We thank you for your membership in the Chamber. Membership in the Chamber
is a great business decision that gives you a competitive edge in the
regional business community. The Chamber is dedicated to making our shared
community and the regional area a better place to live, work and conduct
business.

As the premier advocacy organization for business in Grandville and Jenison,
we are working to promote a healthy and vibrant economy while protecting and
advancing the interest of our members and the community as a whole. The
Chamber works in conjunction with citizens, businesses, educational and
governmental partners to provide a positive business environment and improve
the quality of life in the Grandville and Jenison areas. We also provide
scholarships for area students who demonstrate the leadership talents and
abilities that exemplify the Chamber's values, and we thank you for your
generosity in supporting a scholarship program. The beneficiaries of these
scholarships are future community leaders.

We invite you to join a committee and attend the many Chamber networking
events. Both are great ways to promote your business and make the Chamber
stronger, more diversified, and more informed. Please contact the Chamber
office if you have any questions.

We thank you for your commitment to the Grandville - Jenison Chamber of
Commerce and the regional business environment. We believe our area and
this Chamber has a very bright future, and look forward to serving you as
the Chamber Co-Presidents for the next year.
