A VOICE FOR
MICHIGAN BUSINESSES

A brighter future for Michigan needs a strong voice from business.

Because policy matters to:

  • Create business, grow jobs and open better career opportunities.
  • Removing barriers to competitiveness.
  • Driving Michigan to lead in economic vitality and quality of life.

We seek to be a bold business voice to drive change:

  • Because we can’t grow better careers through policies that hurt job providers,
  • We are a strong, unified voice for leaders in free enterprise.
  • Michigan’s families benefit through bold, principled actions that empower people.
