Impact 2022 provides in-person networking while you learn more about the critical ballot measures to change Michigan’s Constitution.
| |
-
Michigan Proposal 1- Changes the state’s legislative terms limits and campaign finance transparency requirements.
-
Michigan Proposal 2- Changes voting policies related to drop boxes, photo and written identification, the early voting period, absentee voting, and others.
-
Michigan Proposal 3- Creates a right to abortion services in the Michigan Constitution.

All three ballot measures have proponents and opponents. We will hear perspectives from both sides on all three questions, with a special focus on how they could impact our local and state business communities. As always, we will provide a Q&A opportunity for Chamber members to get their questions answered.
In addition to the great information that will be shared at Impact 2022, we will also have multiple networking opportunities and wonderful breakfast and lunch options.
Join us for an engaged and informative morning.

The Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber is formally supporting the August 2nd Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) millage proposal. Please take a look at the statement of support for the proposal which is on the ballot in the cities of Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township.
The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide), has proposed a millage to maintain and improve its transportation services to advance the community’s needs for social, environmental, and economic sustainability. If approved by voters, TheRide will accomplish these purposes with funds raised by an August ballot measure for 2.38 mills, (replacing the existing 0.7 mill levy for a net increase of 1.68 mills). This is a large ask for voters and taxpayers at an uncertain time, but it will provide vital services that are greatly needed, and do so with an entity that has earned the trust of our community. The Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Regional Chamber supports TheRide’s proposal for many reasons.
