Q2 Update with CEO Rick Baker

The start of June means that we’re already halfway through 2022! In Q1 this year, Grand Rapids Chamber President & CEO Rick Baker sat down with the Back to Business podcast to discuss the current state of West Michigan and how the Chamber is focused on creating a thriving, prosperous West Michigan for all.

Today, we checked back in with Baker to see what’s new in our region, and what the Chamber has planned for the summer. One of the exciting things he mentioned was that Grand Rapids was recently ranked #16 best place to live according to the U.S. News & World Report.

Baker and the entire Chamber team are excited to continue our work providing high quality programs and services for our members. Two of these events Baker mentions is our upcoming West Michigan CEO Summit and the inaugural Grand Rapids Policy Conference.

Watch our Q2 update now!
