(LANSING, MI) The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has awarded the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce (LRCC) a 5-Star reaccreditation for its sound policies, effective procedures, and positive community impact. Nationwide, only 187 chambers are accredited, with just four in Michigan. Local chambers are rated as Accredited, 3-Stars, 4-Stars, or 5-Stars. State chambers are recognized as either Accredited State Chamber or Accredited State Chamber with Distinction.

“Chambers of commerce nationwide play a vital role in their communities every day,” said Raymond P. Towle, Vice President, Federation Relations and Coalition Partnerships at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “From connecting business owners with needed resources, to advocating on behalf of their region with lawmakers, these chambers convene thought leaders to strengthen the collective voices of their members. Achieving Accreditation is a mark of excellence for the organization, its staff, and its leadership. This designation recognizes the positive impact these organizations have on their communities and honors their ongoing commitment to serving local businesses.”

The U.S. Chamber’s Accreditation Program promotes excellence in the chamber industry and fosters a pro-business environment across America. Accreditation is awarded by a panel of peer chambers and U.S. Chamber board members, and to receive Accreditation, a chamber must meet standards in governance, government affairs, communications, and technology.

“Achieving five-star reaccreditation from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a powerful endorsement of the value we bring to our members and the Lansing region. This distinction reflects the strength of our business community and our commitment to driving growth, advocacy, and regional collaboration,” said Tim Daman, president and CEO, LRCC. “It also underscores our dedication to creating and delivering value to our members by providing resources, programs, and opportunities that support business success and economic prosperity.”

This prestigious reaccreditation further emphasizes LRCC’s ongoing dedication to enhancing the region’s business landscape. The recognition highlights the LRCC’s proactive efforts to offer businesses a wide array of valuable tools, connections, and programs. By continuously adapting to the needs of local employers, LRCC plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth, improving business engagement, and supporting the long-term success of the Lansing community.
