LANSING, Mich. — As the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce (LRCC) reaches the midway point of 2025, the organization is proud to announce the first phase of activities leading up to its milestone 125th anniversary in 2026. Founded on January 4, 1901, the Chamber has served as a powerful force for economic development, regional prosperity, and business advocacy in the Greater Lansing region.
“For 125 years, the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce has been at the forefront of progress—serving as a unifying voice, a problem-solver, and a connector,” said Tim Daman, president & CEO of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. “As we look ahead to 2026, we are celebrating not just our longevity, but the people and businesses who have made this region what it is today.”
To help commemorate this historic milestone, the LRCC is inviting the community to participate in its 125th Anniversary Logo Competition, presented by RetroDuck.com, an East Lansing based custom apparel and print company. The winning design will be featured throughout the Chamber’s year-long celebration, including digital platforms, event signage, promotional merchandise, and marketing campaigns.
“This competition is an exciting opportunity for our members and community to shape how we visually celebrate our legacy,” said Bridget Drzal, LRCC Vice President of Member Engagement. “We are proud to partner with RetroDuck.com on this initiative and can’t wait to see the creative energy it inspires.”
Luke Hackney, owner of RetroDuck.com, added: “We’re proud to support the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce in celebrating this remarkable milestone. The Chamber has played a vital role in building a stronger regional economy, and we’re excited to be part of honoring that legacy through this creative competition.”
The LRCC’s anniversary theme—“Our Legacy: 125 Years Strong”—pays tribute to its enduring role in shaping the region’s future. From advocating for infrastructure and transportation, to supporting talent development and entrepreneurship, the Chamber continues to drive progress across mid-Michigan.
