BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE YEAR AHEAD FOR THE GREATER DOWAGIAC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Greater Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce is heading into the year ahead with strong momentum. Membership continues to grow, reflecting the value local businesses see in being part of a connected and supportive organization. While the Chamber is often most visible through the festivals and community events it organizes, much of its work happens behind the scenes. Supporting member businesses remains a top priority, whether through monthly Business After Hours networking events, Ribbon Tying events that welcome and connect new businesses to the community, or ongoing promotion through the Chamber’s Facebook page and communication channels. The Chamber believes that business success directly contributes to a stronger, more vibrant community. Chamber members represent a wide range of industries, including retail, manufacturing, medical services, restaurants, insurance, banking, and more— making the organization a true reflection of Dowagiac’s diverse business landscape. This work is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors who generously donate their time and expertise to ensure the Chamber remains financially healthy and mission-focused. Businesses interested in becoming part of the Greater Dowagiac Chamber of Commerce can learn more about membership at dowagiacchamber.com.
