About Our Chamber

“A Chamber on the Move”

In the past 48 years, the Sterling Heights Regional Chamber & Industry has grown from a small, localized Chamber that began life in 1961, to Macomb County's leading Chamber with almost 1,500 members.

Our original “designated” service area of “Greater Utica,” has expanded to serve businesses in virtually every Macomb County community, with additional membership in Wayne and Oakland Counties.  Fully forty percent of our members are located outside of our original “designated” areas of Sterling Heights, Utica and Shelby Township.

In our 48-year-history, we’ve had no fewer than five different names:

1961:Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce

“By unity of action to promote commercial, industrial, civic and agricultural development of the City of Utica, and Townships of Shelby and Sterling Heights.”

1967:Shelby-Utica-Sterling Chamber of Commerce

1972:Utica Area Chamber of Commerce

1977:Northwest Macomb Chamber of Commerce

1986:Sterling Heights Area Chamber of Commerce

In 2009, we further enhanced our name by adding “Regional” and “Industry” to recognize our regional status and our developing industrial membership base.  We value our relationships with our Heritage communities, while at the same time being more reflective of our growing membership throughout Macomb County.

Our Mission has been, and continues to be very simply: To bring features, benefits and value to our members, and each and every day we strive to bring a Return on Investment (ROI) to our members, and to make their Chamber the best in all of Macomb.  Our 23 Directors, Ambassadors, BRAG^™ leaders, volunteers at so many levels, along with our staff are deeply committed to this Mission.
