At the Grand Rapids Chamber, it’s the real deal. A new look, a new building, new initiatives….all primed and ready to help CREATE GREAT businesses for our members in 2018 and beyond. Our new marketing team couldn’t be more pleased to be along for this ride as we refresh and revamp our new brand for you, as reflected in this first TCN of 2018. We hope you’ve already noticed some visible chang- es in our marketing efforts – more photos, more video, engaging social media content and more Chamber storytelling. As a new staff member, I was surprised at the amazing member stories I hear each and every day. I look forward to sharing more of these stories throughout the year, like this issue’s highlight of Pine Rest’s heroic efforts after the Las Vegas shootings, or the member spotlight on how Flirt Fitness’s owner started her unique business. I hope you enjoy watching our recap of last quarter’s incredibly successful Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit and the video highlight of our program, Black Women Connect. Every member has a story, and we are here to share it, while keeping you engaged and informed about all the Grand Rapids Chamber will do for you in 2018. Let’s get started!

The modern and fresh building, with tons of windows overlooking the DeVos Place Convention Center, will be the new epicenter for business, resources, and collabora- tion for more than 2,500 Grand Rapids Chamber members. Here are five facts about the new Chamber office that our members will love: 1 The Chamber office will have a “work cafe,” complete with free Wi-Fi, unlimited local cof- fee, and relaxing background music. The cafe can be used as a casual meeting space, a remote “break room” in between ap- pointments, or just a place to catch up on emails. The cafe is also a great way to capture on-the-spot networking opportunities with other members and more face-to-face time with our Chamber staff. It’ll be our members’ home away from home! 2 Construction is 100% supported by local West Michigan companies. Of the $1.1 million project, close to $300,000 will be completed by companies owned by minority and women-owned businesses, well exceeding the Chamber’s original goal of 25%. 6 First Quarter 2018 grandrapids.org 3 8,000 square feet of the 11,000 square foot location will be dedicated to mem- ber services, including a large, flexible educational, social space, a variety of seating and meeting rooms for concentrating or collaborating. “Through intentional design, we will provide our members with a space to col- laborate, connect, and grow their business,” said Chamber President and CEO, Rick Baker. “By using the modern work environment, we will reduce the footprint required for staff work and reallocate the space for member programming and services.” 4 New programming to be delivered in our very own space. We know you want transformational knowledge, and we now have the room to provide more workshops, seminars, and training in 2018. Our new Business Ser- vices and Talent teams have over 100 events planned for 250 Monroe Ave. This building will be the epicenter of learning and member interaction. 5 Brand new restaurant “Roam by San Chez” will be located on the ground floor of the building. Owners Dan and Cindy Schneider told Grand Rapids Business Journal, “The con- cept is roaming around the world and eating global street food.” What could be better than coming from a meeting at a productive coworking space and then treating yourself to a fabulous lunch?
