Howell Area Chamber of Commerce issued the following announcement on Feb 10.
The Howell Area Chamber of Commerce announces the all new Rising Professionals Group!
The Brighton, Hartland, and Howell Area Chambers of Commerce have joined forces and created a new networking group; the Rising Professionals. Focusing on providing education, mentorship, and collaboration, the group is specially designed for individuals who are new to their profession.
In late fall of 2021, the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce teamed up to create the Greater Livingston County Chamber Alliance (GLCCA). The partnership’s mission is to “advance business together” by establishing a regional focus. The alliance works to support businesses through a unified voice by addressing key issues, developing solutions, and building stronger community networks.
The formation of the GLCCA prompted the decision to merge the Brighton and Howell Young Professionals groups to collaborate, yielding a larger network of like-minded individuals. Collaboration and innovation brought forth by the two teams, along with support from the Hartland Chamber, produced the Rising Professionals.
In addition to the mission of the previous Young Professionals network, this group is expanding its reach not only to those who are new to the professional arena, but those who are starting a new career, looking to expand their network, or seeking mentorship from experts in their field.
The mission of the Rising Professionals is to “offer opportunities for rising professionals of all ages to connect, develop and grow, both personally and professionally, by engaging in business and community growth”.
“The Chamber Alliance is thrilled to roll out this new opportunity for professionals on the rise,” said Howell Area Chamber of Commerce President Janelle Best. “Expanding the opportunities for business professionals in Livingston County is our priority and this new group will be a big part of that.”
The Rising Professionals are currently planning their 2022 schedule of events. A combination of educational seminars and casual networking opportunities will be offered throughout the calendar year.
For more information about the Rising Professionals, or, for those interested in joining the planning team, contact Rising Professionals Ambassador, Jessica Bergum, at 517-375-8689. Upcoming events hosted by the group can be found on either the Brighton, Hartland, or Howell Chamber websites.
