LANSING- Allie Bush is the new public policy coordinator for the Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce. Her main focuses will be education and tax policy. Bringing experience with an advanced degree from Grand Valley State University, she has worked as a policy advisor in the Michigan House of Representatives for the House Republican Policy Office. The chamber’s members span from Wyoming to Comstock Park and cover all Grand Rapids suburbs.
On the other side of the state, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce sends a three-person team to Lansing to communicate with legislators and advocate for its membership.
