About the Auburn Hills Chamber
The Auburn Hills Chamber of Commerce serves a unique population not only within Oakland County, one of the most prosperous counties in the country, but within the State of Michigan. Representing a community where Fortune 500 companies are located down the road from the locally-owned diner, the Chamber understands that growing businesses — of any size — are the common value of our membership.
The Chamber was founded in 1991 by a group of businesses committed to putting Auburn Hills on the map. With its humble beginnings in the coat closet of what is now the Crowne Plaza Hotel near I-75, the Chamber today boasts an office suite found in the city’s ever-expanding downtown. The membership is approximately 500 businesses and has been experiencing growth on an annual basis. We see an exciting expansion in emerging sectors in technology, advanced manufacturing, and service sectors within this historically automotive community.
The Auburn Hills Chamber serves hundreds of companies in a city that is 80% business, including multi-national companies, a regional shopping center, as well as hundreds of hotels, restaurants, and locally owned businesses which support our thriving economy. You’ll find our focus and programming to be reflective of this dynamic culture.
In addition, 30,000 students are educated each year in our community’s universities, medical school, law school, community colleges and award-winning school district. Connecting employers to future talent is an important value as we rebuild and retool our workforce. As such, the Chamber offers events designed to meet these goals. Our high-performance internship program model’s best practices in career training and development.
The Chamber is at the heart of the community, connecting our members to one another and to opportunities for commerce. A core value is also supporting our non-profit organizations, which provide vital services to area residents while allowing businesses to embrace their mission. There are many ways to engage with our local community both through the Chamber and directly through our members.
The Auburn Hills Chamber provides a great value for your business and shows support for the local community. To learn more, contact President, Jean Jernigan at 248.853.7862.
