The White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau is governed by a Board of Directors. The business leaders who make up the board are committed to being fiscally responsible when making decisions for the Chamber, and help positively promote who the Chamber is and what they do to better our business community and area.
Each oard member is on a committee--from events, membership, finance, to tourism. They work with White Lake Area Chamber staff to help plan, promote, and develop business and tourism.
We are incredibly thankful for their dedication to the Chamber and to the area. All of the Board members give their time to make our organization strong, successful, and ensure the Chamber mission and vision are always upheld. Click here to find out more about our Board!

Our Spoons & Tunes beautification fundraiser on February 27 was a huge success! We had six participating restaurants who donated their soup for the cause, and we were able to raise over $1200 for the flowers this summer! A huge thank you again to North Grove Brewers for hosting our event, along with their acoustic trio with RJ Nordlund, Rich King, and Scott Nesbit, and to these generous local restaurants: The Gnarly Heifer, Mylan's Waterfront Grille, North Grove Brewers, Oh Brothers, Pekadill's, and Pub One Eleven. Thank you to our great community for coming out and showing your support!

On March 21, we hosted a virtual "Meet your Legislators" panel. White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Amy VanLoon hosted this virtual event, along with our legislative guests: Senator Jon Bumstead, Representative Terry Sabo, and Representative Greg VanWoerkom, with a welcome by City of Montague Mayor Tom Lohman and City of Whitehall Mayor Steve Salter. This was a great way to be in the know of what our legislators are currently working on. A huge thank you to CatchMark Technologies for hosting and livestreaming this event. If you missed the panel, you can still watch it the YouTube stream here.
