It is through their support and that of all our nearly 15,000 members that I can take this space to celebrate a few more end-of-year successes for the Chamber. * We have further expanded our Diversity Partnership Program with the addition of the Asian Pacific American Chamber of Commerce and the Michigan Michigan (mĭsh`ĭgən), upper midwestern state of the United States.
