Hello Chamber Members and Friends,

I’m excited to share a bit of news with you, and even more excited to invite you to coffee.

My name is Laura Guild, and I’m honored to have stepped into the role of Executive Director of the Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce. Grand Ledge has always been like home to me, and serving this community in this way feels incredibly meaningful.

Rather than repeating everything here, I recorded a short video to introduce myself and share a little more about why this role matters to me. You can watch the video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/Cm7zjlNQ5GA?feature=share

As I settle into this position, my focus is simple: listening, learning, and connecting. I want to hear what’s working well, where the Chamber can be most helpful, and how we can continue to support our local businesses and community partners.

That brings me to an invitation…

Join Me for Wednesday's Coffee & Conversation

I’d love to meet you (or reconnect!) at Wednesday Coffee:
Wednesday, January 14
9:00 a.m.
City Hall, 310 Greenwood Street, Grand Ledge, MI 48837

This is a casual opportunity to grab a cup of coffee, say hello, and share your thoughts. We’ll also begin some early conversations around upcoming community traditions, including things like the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and how the Chamber can best support the events and activities our community already loves. Whether you’re a longtime Chamber member, a business owner, or just curious about what’s ahead, I hope you’ll stop by.

I’m grateful for the warm welcome I’ve already received and truly looking forward to working together as we step into this next chapter for the Grand Ledge Area Chamber.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Warmly,
Laura Guild
Executive Director
Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce
