About Me

Claire Colley started at the Grand Rapids Chamber in 2023 as the Events Project Manager. She moved to the Economic Growth department in 2024. Claire has a passion for fostering community. She loves uplifting and supporting local businesses, and doing whatever she can to help them succeed. 

Claire was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, and moved to Grand Rapids to attend Grand Valley State University where she graduated with a degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management in 2020. After graduating, she decided to call Grand Rapids home. Her favorite activities include reading on the couch with her cat Poppy, going to any and all concerts, spending time with family and friends, or traveling and exploring new places with her husband Brennen.

Fun Facts:

  • Seeing the Jonas Brothers at Van Andel Arena is one of Claire’s favorite concert memories. There isn’t a single bad seat in that arena!
  • Claire loves to spend her weekends wandering around Grand Rapids finding all of the hidden gems and trying new breweries.
  • Favorite Chamber event: Any of our After Hours!
