Perception is increased amongst consumers and other business owners when your organization is identified as a member of a chamber of commerce (Dearborn Chamber of Commerce in Michigan)

advocate for you businesses concerning matters that will be in your businesses best interest. There is strength in numbers.

The chamber can also assist your business or provide guidance relating to public relations efforts.

Strategic Networking

Networking is very important to stay alive, but strategic networking goes a step beyond.
Strategic networking is making those connections that can be mutually beneficial to you and the business you are networking with. The GSBCC can help you both determine beneficial services that two member companies can offer each other.

Professional and Business Development & Evolvement

The GSBCC will provide you and your business with professional development and growth along with business development sessions.
You can benefit from learning about how to grow your business, how to brand yourself and company, and a wealth of other developmental opportunities.

Public Policy Influence

The GSBCC will keep you informed on important legislation as well as working on your behalf to make sure those who are creating the policy will keep you on their minds.
Legislatures often consider small businesses but having a concrete image of your business can make them more deliberative in their decision-making.
