Today, we are joined by Alan Kroll, Chairman of the Board of the Royal Oak Chamber. Alan is actually in his second stint leading the board, having served in the 1990's and 2000's.We talk about how Royal Oak has grown since the construction of Interstate 696, and how the Chamber has been an integral partner working both with member businesses and the city itself.One of the Chamber's big initiatives in 2022 was taking over the Summer Concert Series, and Alan hints at what may lay ahead in 2023 and beyond.We also cover two of Alan's priorities - the legislative committee and succession planning - and how you can get involved.Finally, we get a glimpse into Alan's professional life - from his time at a Fortune 1000 company and up to his "retirement job" - working at Interiors Unlimited - creating workspaces for businesses. He shares his perspective on the return to work after COVID.Reach Alan at Alan@InteriorsU.com.Connect with our hosts:Trish Carruth from The Personal Jeweler - https://www.thepersonaljeweler.com/Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Keller Williams - http://soldbylisab.com/For more on the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce, visit https://www.royaloakchamber.com/
