GRAND RAPIDS – West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum has completed a merger with Michigan’s Great Southwest Sustainable Business Forum to create the largest regional organization for sustainable business practitioners in the Midwest.
The combined organization, headquartered in Grand Rapids, will serve 220 member organizations and the general community in a 10-county territory that stretches from Muskegon County to the Indiana border with a unified mission of promoting business practices that demonstrate environmental stewardship, economic vitality, and social responsibility.
Last year the two organizations entered into a strategic alliance that would allow WMSBF to perform joint functions on behalf of MGSSBF. The merger now allows WMSBF & MGSSBF to share administrative costs and invest more resources to each organizations mission.
West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum will continue to do business as Michigan’s Great Southwest Sustainable Business Forum in Southwest Michigan for the foreseeable future. The board of directors have combined, and existing members of both organizations will now receive reciprocal benefits.
