Join a Chamber Committee
The Flint & Genesee Chamber has established committees in order to help improve our community. Involvement in these organizations is a great way to network while sharing your talents and expertise.
African American Advisory Committee (AAAC)
The liaison between the African American business community and the Chamber
The African American Advisory Committee (AAAC) serves as the liaison between the region’s growing African American business community and the Flint & Genesee Chamber. AAAC members partner with the Chamber to support the advancement and development of African American businesses and professionals. Collectively, we are committed to identifying vital resources for business owners, supporting economic development, and fostering strong community partnerships.
The goal of the AAAC is to collaborate and support the Chamber with ideas and initiatives that foster the development and growth of underrepresented business enterprises such as African American-owned businesses.
Women’s Leadership Committee
Advocating and supporting women in business for over 20 years

The goal of this committee is to serve businesses and residents of Genesee County as a primary resource of information pertaining to the employment, training or accommodations for people with disabilities. We confidentially address the needs and concerns of business owners so that a diverse, inclusive workforce will grow while providing resources for accessible products, services, and benefits.
The Disability Works Committee includes small business owners, mid-sized corporations, and civic organizations that care about individuals with physical or mental challenges yet are capable of becoming the next “best employee you ever hired.” We believe everyone who lives in Genesee County deserves an opportunity to earn a living and contribute to the growth of our community.
