The Southeast Michigan Community Alliance (SEMCA) participated in three chamber business expos this year, the Monroe, Livonia, and Southern Wayne County events. SEMCA is a member of each of these chambers of commerce. The Livonia Business Expo has been described as one of Southeast Michigan’s premier business-to-business marketing event. The annual show was consolidated this year into a single day that began with a breakfast event and ended with the Taste Extravaganza. |
