Chamber software conversion

 

The Macomb County Chamber is in the process of converting its operating system to state-of-the-art association management software called Weblink. Staff training is now underway.

 

This new technology is good news for members! While updates won't happen all at once, in the future, members will be able to view event registration, invoice status and make payments online as well as make immediate updates to member records.

 

We appreciate your patience while we get "up and running" on this system as part of our ongoing efforts to deliver fast and efficient customer service to our members!

 

 

  

 

And a good time was had by all!

 

 

 

What a GORGEOUS day! Golfers at this year's outing were treated to on-site massages courtesy of Ria's Touch Massage, premium golf shirts courtesy of Axalta Coating Systems, and sunny skies courtesy of Mother Nature! Attendees also enjoyed a steak dinner, premium bar, terrific raffle prizes, and making it into the clubhouse just before the storm!

 

Congrats to Team Raymond James, the winning foursome at this year's outing.
