Promoting our community

The Chamber's new city and county map is here

Our two-side fold out map of Muskegon and Muskegon County is a great resource for visitors and locals alike to find the many treasures our communities offer. It's a handy size to store in your glove box; use it to find shopping, beaches, businesses, parks and other key points of interest.

The map is free and can be picked up at the Chamber office, 380 W. Western Ave. in downtown Muskegon, or at our various hotels, marinas, restaurants and other member locations.

Meanwhile, the Chamber provides a free electronic version of the map that can be downloaded to your computer. Click the picture of the map to the left of this story to get started. Once you have it open, you can zoom in and out to find what you're looking for. A special 'thank you' to Hampton Publishing, our partner on this project.

While you're viewing the electronic version, feel free to click on the links to our advertisers and let them know you saw the ad in the Chamber's map. We appreciate our advertisers for supporting this project.

Chamber Classic Golf Outing 

The networking event of the year
Aug. 26, 2010, at Oak Ridge Golf Club

Registrations are flying off the shelf. Only 15 spots remain for teams to enjoy this year's Chamber Classic Golf Outing. Time to register is running out. Here's what our Chamber president thinks about the Chamber Classic...


The 2010 Chamber Classic is a great way to connect with potential clients, treat existing clients or enjoy an afternoon of team building with your staff. Our golf outing prices have not changed since 2006. But space is limited and tee times are close to selling out. Don't wait. Click the RSVP button to reserve your spot.

We also have several high-profile sponsorship opportunities, which start at only $250 and offer a marketing reach beyond the event.
