Detroit Chamber

Grosse Pointe Park resident Sandy Baruah, center, president & CEO of the Greater Detroit Chamber of Commerce, was the guest speaker at the Oct. 14 luncheon meeting of Rotary of Grosse Pointe. He attended with his wife, Lisa. "Three years ago I had the pleasure of speaking to this organization," he told the Rotarians. "I was brand new then. Gov. Snyder was not governor yet." He noted  the economy is coming back and Detroit is working its way through bankruptcy. "What we see everyday at the Chamber," he said, "is international business is looking at Detroit not just as a good bet but the safe bet." Welcoming Baruah to the Rotary luncheon were President Paul Rentenbach, left, and 1st Vice President Jon Gandelot. Photo by John Minnis
