LANSING, MI– The Michigan Association of Chamber Professionals (MACP) recognized the Cheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce with the 2018 Outstanding Chamber of Commerce Award—Small Chamber Category at the MACP Leadership Conference & Annual Meeting held at the Flint Institute of Arts on October 18. “The Cheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce received this award based on its accomplishments in leadership and governance, financial stewardship, business advocacy and member programming,” said Anita Lindsay, Director for the Michigan Association of Chamber Professionals. “Among the chamber’s noted achievements were its innovative LEADS program, its commitment to fiscal health, and its support of entrepreneurial culture in Cheboygan.” The Outstanding Chamber of Commerce award is presented to chambers organizations based on a comprehensive application modeled after the US Chamber of Commerce Accreditation process for recognizing best industry practices.

The highest scoring applications receive the annual award.
