Select A Message from the President & CEO – Q3 2026

It has been a busy few months at the Macomb County Chamber, with opportunities to bring our community together, recognize outstanding leaders and focus on issues important to Macomb County business leaders.

In this issue, we reflect on two recent events: the Great Lakes Policy Conference and the 25th annual Macomb Hall of Fame Awards. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of both events.

You’ll also find opportunities in this issue to connect and get involved, including our Women in Business program and our new Manufacturing Roundtable.

There is also plenty to look forward to this fall. Our State of the Township series continues with the State of Harrison Township on Oct. 2, the State of Washington Township on Oct. 16 and the  State of Clinton Township on Oct. 23. We’re also looking forward to our annual Macomb 40 Under 40 Awards on Nov. 19, hosted in partnership with NextGEN, which recognizes young professionals making a difference in our community.

With the November election nearing, our Legislative Committee is also finalizing its candidate review process. This effort is part of our ongoing initiative to keep members informed about important issues affecting the business community. Look out for the upcoming release of the committee’s candidate ratings.

Thank you for your continued involvement and support of the Macomb County Chamber. I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Chamber event. Meanwhile, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions at kelley@macombcountychamber.com.

Kelley Lovati, Ph.D.
