There are many great reasons for entrepreneurs like you to belong to the Small Business Association of Michigan. “Oh, I think as SBAM is a remarkable organization.” Gary Kushner is CEO of Kushner & Company in Portage and a past chair of the Small Business Association of Michigan. “The biggest value I saw was that SBAM was nonpartisan, or I shouldn't say partisan, but only to small business. It was not a Democratic or Republican organization like others in Lansing. But what I found that that allowed them to do and allowed all of its members and myself included to do was provide input on both sides of the aisle. Didn't matter who was in the, you know, which party was represented in the governor's office or the House or Senate. Up in Lansing, we were able to represent small business, probably at the greatest level of any organization in the state. And so I saw SBAM as this remarkable entity now in its 50th year. I've been involved with them for probably 30, 40, for almost 35 years or longer, and just saw them as remarkably effective, open to ideas and helping improve the small business climate in the state of Michigan.” Leverage the value of your involvement with the Small Business Association of Michigan.
