Not Just Endurance – Adaptation in Action

We are thrilled to invite you to our 2026 Annual Meeting – a dynamic event designed to connect our members, celebrate our progress, and support the future of Michigan’s small business climate.

Our cornerstone event – focused on the state of small business, organizational updates, and high-level networking. This year’s keynote speaker is Tricia Keith, President and CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. At a time when health care costs and uncertainty are weighing heavily on small businesses, having a leader of her caliber in the room means something. She’s one of the most influential voices in Michigan health care, and this is a real chance to hear from someone who is working through these challenges at the highest level.
