The Macomb Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Macomb Business Academy (MBA). The eight-week leadership program concluded on May 14 with a graduation ceremony following two months of hands-on professional development and community engagement.
The MBA was launched as a modernized successor to the long-standing Community Leadership Academy (CLA).
Designed to meet the evolving needs of local professionals, the program provides emerging leaders with a comprehensive view of the institutions shaping the region.
From March through May, participants met weekly at Macomb City Hall to engage with local experts across various sectors. The curriculum focused on: Civic Insight: Direct contact with leaders in local government, economic development, and education.
Community Pillars: In-depth sessions on agriculture, safety and crisis response, and the non-profit sector.
Leadership Growth: Personal development through team-building exercises and personality trait exploration.
The transformation from the CLA to the Macomb Business Academy allows the Macomb Area Chamber of Commerce to deliver high-level information in a format that fits the schedules of today’s professionals.
