The Lansing Regional Chamber Economic Club is dedicated to promoting and stimulating economic growth through timely and insightful community forums presented for personal and professional development. The Economic Club provides a forum where local business and community leaders can hear presentations on a broad range of business-related topics. Past presentations have ranged from how global economic trends affect the national and local economy, to hearing how leaders from different walks of life have achieved their success and view of the future. Denise Illitch, President of Illitch Enterprises will speak at the November luncheon.

The Greater China Supply Chain Forum is a core project of the Broad International Business Forum (BIBF), held each fall at Michigan State University. Each year over 300 students, faculty and professionals converge to hear top managers speak about their experiences in China. These managers travel to East Lansing from around the globe to represent such multinational corporations as Dell, Whirlpool, UPS, GM, A.T. Kearney, and many more. Three panels of speakers are joined by guest moderators to provide a full day of presentations and Q&A on focused topics in current, international business. An informal luncheon in the middle of the day brings speakers and attendees together for a chance to interact on a more personal level, and sets the scene for the announcement of the annual BIBF scholarship recipient. This award is given to an outstanding international student and made possible by the generous donations of the forum's sponsors.
