The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) is a private, not-for-profit organization that proudly serves as the region’s leading advocate for business. Our mission is to improve the Milwaukee Region as a place to invest capital, grow business and create jobs. We accomplish this through an ever-expanding range of programs, events and initiatives.
MMAC also represents the business community at all levels of government, engages with our education systems and works to preserve and promote our civic assets.
The business leaders who came before us over the past 150-plus years had the vision to set a course toward the prosperity we enjoy today. We owe it to those who come after us to leave the Region an even better place than the one we inherited. And we can’t do that without our members, whose dues investment makes a difference in our region’s success every day.
