It’s good to have friends in high places.
The Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance looks to have an ally in Gov. Rick Snyder, who laid out an aggressive agenda for 2015 in his State of the State address in Lansing last week. The Alliance represents eight area chambers and thousands of businesses across Northern Michigan. It is fortunate that many of its 2015 legislative priorities align with the governor’s goals. The organization looks forward to working with lawmakers and our members to get these things done to keep Michigan moving forward.
The Alliance is encouraged by the governor’s strong support for more investment in talent and workforce development. That is also among our top priorities this year. More and more northern Michigan businesses are finding it difficult to find skilled workers in manufacturing, construction and other sectors — businesses that help drive the northern Michigan economy.

Chamber interest: Lynchburg-area leaders visit Lexington, Kentucky for economic-development tips
Business and community leaders in the region returned last week from a three-day trip to Lexington, Kentucky, to learn about the city’s economic development practices.
“What I find is that we’re unified and strong and have a real understanding of advancing the region together,” said Dennis Jarvis, Altavista economic development director, who went on the trip. But, he said, “one thing that’s hardest for us to glean — they have a metro government in Lexington; we don’t.”
Lexington, which is part of
Fayette County, Kentucky, is under a single metro government, while
Central Virginia consists of four counties and one city.
Fourteen regional leaders
representing a diverse range of the private and public sector met with
city bankers, economic development officials, Chamber of Commerce heads,
university officials and the Lexington mayor. Read more: The News & Advance
The Madison Startup Fair on University of Wisconsin-Madison’s campus brings together a cross-section of local startups each year, from software to 3D printing technology to alternative insulation material for outdoor gear.
The event, now in its third year, aims to help university students connect with startups and learn more about possible careers, while companies get to hunt for talent.
I also see it as an opportunity to pick entrepreneurs’ brains about the latest trends. Last year, I asked participants what challenges their businesses were facing. This year, I decided to ask for one thing that could be improved about the startup climate in Madison and Wisconsin as a whole. Here are three snap responses: Read more: Xconomy.com

Chamber breakfast: Des Plaines mayor seeks to improve city's brand in 2015
Des Plaines Mayor Matt Bogusz asked
attendees of his annual Address to Business at a chamber of commerce
breakfast Thursday to stand up if they do business in the city -- and to
remain standing if they'd recommend to others to do the same.
Most all did, but Bogusz said a recent survey found more than half of the city's residents would caution against it.
Repairing that "disconnect"
through the development of a city marketing and branding plan, Bogusz
said, is one of his goals for 2015.
"We as a city and as a
city-chamber partnership have not done a good enough job telling our
story and communicating to the world around us," said Bogusz, delivering
his second such address to business leaders following his election in
2013. "We need to refresh and realign our brand." Read more: Daily Herald
El Dorado (Arkansas) chamber Event: Deputy Director Danny
Games Highlights Upcoming
Economic Outlook Luncheon
Recently, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson appointed Danny Games
as the Deputy Director of the Economic Development Commission. This is a very
important position for all Arkansans since Danny will be implementing the
Governor's vision for economic prosperity by working with existing companies on
expansions and recruiting new companies to the state. Danny will also be
working with the Governor to select the new Executive Director for the Arkansas
Economic Development Commission. From media reports and job search inquiries,
it appears that Governor Hutchinson is leaning toward a professional economic
developer for the position.
Danny has graciously agreed to be the keynote speaker at the
Chamber's Quarterly Economic Outlook Luncheon on Wednesday, February 11,
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at the First United Methodist Church in
Smackover at
500 West 7th Street. He and the AEDC Board will be in El Dorado
for a series of tours and meetings on February 11th and 12th. We hope to have a
large crowd at the event to show El Dorado and Union County's enthusiasm for
working with the state. More information: El Dorado Chamber
Jackson County (Mississippi) Chamber Spotlight: Annex Restaurant a family affair
- Why did you go into business? The Annex Restaurant has been around since the 1940's. I started working here in 2010, and I loved it. Now my husband, Josh Smith, and I are the new owners of The Annex Restaurant as of a year ago. It is a wonderful atmosphere, and you get really attached to the customers. They become like family. You end up on a first name basis with them and just enjoy their company. I wanted to continue that tradition for them and for our community.
- What do you offer your customers? At The Annex Restaurant we offer Southern, home-style food like you would get at home along with a laid back, casual atmosphere to match! It's a place to go to see old friends and catch up over coffee. At The Annex Restaurant we offer catering and delivery options with discounts included for purchases with more than 10 orders. We can work with customers to plan catering options throughout the week, reserve space for business meetings and have private parties rent the restaurant in the afternoon and on the weekend. We have the same menu that people have come to know and love along with a few new entrees in a smoke-free environment. Some of our menu will be featured next week at the Taste of Jackson County on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The Annex Restaurant also offers specials for law enforcement, EMT and firemen, and we also offer a senior discount menu. Read more: GulfLive.com
