Great conversation, great networking, and a packed room at this week’s Economic Club of Lapeer County luncheon hosted Wednesday at the Lapeer Country Club! ☀️

We were also very honored to have Kristina LaBarge (College & Career Advisor for North Branch Area Schools) and two students join us. It's so important to have our youth interact with the movers and shakers of our area!

We were honored to welcome Dr. Pete Lacey from St. Clair County Community College, who shared insights on the future vision of SC4, expanding educational opportunities throughout the region, and the growing partnership with North Branch Area Schools.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for another strong Economic Club gathering. These events continue to bring together local leaders, businesses, educators, and community champions all under one roof.

Interested in joining us for the rest of the year? Half-year memberships are now available and include access to upcoming Economic Club meetings, along with our Summer Mixer currently in the works. 🌿
