There are decided benefits to doing business in Michigan, and nobody wants you to know that more that Governor Rick Snyder. The Governor will take the opportunity to share those advantages with business leaders from across Michigan’s Great Southwest next week when he keynotes the Business Recognition Breakfast for Cornerstone Chamber of Commerce and Cornerstone Alliance.
Both organizations have been working on the plan to welcome the Governor to town for several weeks and firmed those plans up this week announcing today that he will deliver the keynote speech at the Business Recognition Breakfast next Thursday. The annual event takes place at Lake Michigan College Mendel Center on Thursday, February 9, 2017 at 8:00am. Governor Snyder will discuss the benefits of doing business in Michigan with several hundred members, investors and guests gathered to recognize the accomplishments of Berrien County businesses and individuals.
Cornerstone Chamber President Chris Heugel says, “We are extremely proud and honored to announce Governor Rick Snyder as the keynote speaker for this year’s Business Recognition Breakfast.”
When Governor Snyder became Michigan’s 48th Governor in 2011,he pledged a common sense approach to governing that focused on working together to find solutions for the state’s toughest problems.The Governor has focused on making government more efficient and effective for Michigan’s citizens. In his first term, the state passed four balanced budgets, eliminated a $1.5 billion deficit and reformed burdensome tax and regulatory codes. Also during that time, Michigan created nearly 500,000 new private sector jobs. Last year, Michigan’s unemployment rate fell to its lowest point in 15 years.
Cornerstone Alliance President Rob Cleveland says, “Michigan is a top state for business attraction and expansion thanks to the hard work of the Snyder Administration to create a pro-business climate.” He adds, “We welcome Governor Snyder to the Business Recognition event as we celebrate the innovation, growth and successes of Berrien County businesses who produce world-class products and services.”
