During a recent Michigan Legislature meeting focused on Economic Competitiveness, the committee emphasized the importance of gathering insights from both past successes and failures in the state. The discussion aimed to explore effective strategies from across the country while encouraging thought-provoking testimonies from various stakeholders.

Amanda, a representative from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), took the floor to highlight the organization's role in advocating for small and independent businesses. With over 11,350 members in Michigan and 300,000 nationwide, NFIB has been a significant voice for free enterprise since 1943. Amanda underscored the unique perspective of NFIB, noting that their members join primarily for advocacy on issues that affect their businesses.

The meeting's focus on collaboration and information-sharing reflects a broader commitment to enhancing Michigan's economic landscape. By learning from both local and national experiences, the committee aims to foster a more competitive environment for businesses in the state. As discussions continue, the insights gathered will likely shape future policies and initiatives aimed at bolstering economic growth in Michigan.
