Mecosta County Area Chamber of Commerce Information

The Mecosta County Area Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary network dedicated to promoting quality of life through the economic, educational, and cultural development of Mecosta County. A Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary partnership of business and professional people working together to build a healthy economy and to improve the quality of life in the community. The Mecosta County Chamber's strength lies in attracting the greatest number of firms into membership, to create a pool of resources from which it can draw ideas, talents, energies, and finances. These resources are combined to solve problems in Mecosta County and beyond. Membership to the Mecosta County Area Chamber of Commerce enables members of the business and professional community to accomplish more collectively than one business could do individually. Members also have a voice in current civic, local, and state matters. The Mecosta County Chamber hosts a variety of events throughout the year. The monthly events consist of both networking events, such as Business After Hours and Rise & Shine mixers, and business workshops which include Lunch and Learn sessions. Some of the Chamber’s annual events include: the Community and Family Expo, the Pioneer Chamber Golf Open, the Taste of Mecosta, the Labor Day Arts and Crafts Show, Bulldog Bonanza (a business expo at Ferris State University), a 5K Glow Run, the Dam Festival, and a community Holiday Gala. The Mecosta County Area Chamber of Commerce also offers the Leadership Mecosta program.
