Chamber Alliance releases fourth quarter report

The Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance released its fourth quarterly report of the year covering the months of October-December. Full report.

The Alliance spent the fall attending a number of events with local and state policymakers, including the Northwest Michigan Housing Summit.

Concerns remain on energy policy - Legislation calling for a 100% clean energy standard in the state of Michigan was signed in November by Gov. Whitmer. The Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance, in collaboration with the Coalition for Clean and Renewable Energy (CCARE), advocated for changes to support sensible, clean energy initiatives. The objective is to safeguard the environment, keep energy rates low, and maintain reliability without compromising affordability, especially for small business owners, including manufacturers.

As current energy policy reforms set ambitious goals, strong concerns remain within the business community in northern Michigan and across the state. While we agree with the ultimate aim to achieve 100% clean energy, it is crucial to establish feasible goals for electric companies and cooperatives.

The Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance anticipates ongoing discussions and remains committed to ensuring that the voice of the business community in Northern Michigan is emphatically heard in the next phase of this process.

College to host exhibition celebrating America's women physicians

North Central Michigan College will host a traveling exhibition celebrating the contributions and legacy of our nation’s women physicians. The Rise, Serve, Lead! America’s Women Physicians exhibition, a display of six roll-up graphic banners, will be open to the public from January 10 to February 15 in the NCMC Library. 

Produced by the National Library of Medicine, Rise, Serve, Lead! and its companion website highlight the lives and achievements of U.S. women physicians who have made a difference through their medical practice and research, their work as activists, their service as administrators, and their mentorship to the next generation of doctors.  

Related events include a January 19 Luncheon Lecture featuring Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, Michigan’s chief medical executive and a member of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s cabinet. Bagdasarian will provide an update on the state’s most pressing public health issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the opioid crisis, maternal and infant health, vaccine-preventable diseases, and sexually transmitted infections.  

The lecture will be held in the NCMC Library Conference Center at 11:30 a.m. A $15 attendance fee includes a buffet lunch. Thirty seats will be reserved for NCMC students to attend free of charge. Registration is required.

Center for the Arts hosts comedian Kermet Apio

Returning to the Great Lakes Center for the Arts on Friday, January 19th is comedian Kermet Apio. He was a fan favorite last summer when he opened for comedian Brian Regan, so we've invited him back to kick off the New Year. Raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kermet has called Seattle, Washington, home since college. Kermet, a self-proclaimed playful procrastinator, broke into the comedy scene in the late 90s.

After that first open mic night at the Comedy Underground in Seattle, Kermet was hooked and soon ditched the security of a 9-to-5 to embrace performing and making audiences laugh full-time.

In the years since that leap of faith, Kermet took first place at the 2009 Great American Comedy Festival, appeared on the small screen and over the airwaves, and performed in almost all 50 states, plus three Canadian provinces – not bad, eh? Get ready to laugh away the calories gained over the fun holiday season. Tickets are now available.

Citizens National announces two promotions

Regina currently serves on the board of directors and is an Ambassador of the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce. She and her husband Jeff reside in Petoskey with their golden retriever Maddie.

Ashley Waldie has been promoted from Consumer Loan Specialist to Loan Officer, Consumer and Residential.
