Despite a weeks-long government shutdown and temperatures dipping well below zero during the Great Polar Vortex of 2019, the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce carried on, hosting its annual meeting and Pointer of Distinction awards at The War Memorial on Jan. 31.
“Your chamber won’t let you down,” Chamber President Jennifer Boettcher said during her opening remarks. “We’re always open for business.”
The evening was full of special moments, including chamber highlights from 2018 by outgoing board chairman Rob Lubera, who noted the chamber welcomed 61 new members last year and celebrated eight new businesses. The chamber, which currently boasts more than 650 members, also introduced a new ambassador program, “to assist with outreach to members,” Lubera said.
