CGL Alumni Network
The Create Great Leaders Alumni Network is a great way to engage with fellow alumni, support current programs and scholarships, and stay current with the happenings of the Chamber’s Leadership Programs.
About the Network
For over 30 years, the Grand Rapids Chamber has led the region in talent development and leadership programs. All program participants are part of the network, creating a network of over 2,500 community leaders.
At the heart of our programs is connection. Whether participants are taking a community-focused program or a program to improve their public speaking skills, we are intentional in connecting all participants to one another. We believe magic happens through these connections.
