Amy Hoyes has been the Executive Director of the chamber since 2018. She has a 21 year old daughter Maddy who is in her 3rd year of college and a 14 year old Grand Ledge High School Freshman. She is also mom to two 11 year old fur babies Max and Marley.
She lives with all her children in downtown Grand Ledge in a 124 year old Victorian home, is in an adult tap dancing class, loves to shop, binge watch Netflix with her girls, go camping, exploring and is active in her church.
I love seeing local businesses working together to collaborate and thrive in communities. At my core, I am a community engagement and outreach person who loves to network and connect people for a common mission. My family chose to live in Grand Ledge, and I am excited to see this family-friendly town come together to not only grow commerce, but lead new families moving into the region to all the great annual events and support that the chamber provides.
With more than 11 years of nonprofit experience, along with advertising sales, a stint as a television producer and a newspaper reporter, Amy brings ideas and energy to this position. She was a chamber ambassador for several years and was accepted into two different Chamber leadership programs in the Carolinas.
A graduate of Elon University in North Carolina with journalism and business degrees, she will be running the day to day operations of the Chamber as well as fundraising and marketing in the community.
She has two beautiful daughters - Madison is studying at Michigan State University, and Camden is at Beagle Middle School. Her family would not be complete without her two fur babies, Max and Marley, who are rescues from an animal shelter.
In her spare time, she loves to walk her dogs, play board games with her kids, watch movies, and swim at the YMCA. Spending most of her life in the South, shes excited for the Michigan adventures she plans to have in the Great Lakes state!
You can connect with Amy at the Chamber office Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM or email her at amy@grandledgechamber.com.
Together we can make the Grand Ledge Chamber of Commerce a valuable resource for all residents and businesses in this community.
