A lifelong Port Huron resident, Sarah has built her career around hospitality, business development, marketing, event strategy, and creating meaningful connections. Today, she is the owner of LaForge Collective LLC, where she helps businesses and organizations strengthen their presence through strategic marketing, events, social media, and community engagement. Her background also includes leadership within the chamber and hospitality industries, giving her a unique understanding of both the challenges businesses face and the value that strong professional relationships can bring.

Sarah’s work with the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce is driven by a passion for making sure St. Clair County businesses have a seat at the table and access to opportunities throughout the greater Southeast Michigan region. She believes some of the strongest business growth happens when people get out from behind their desks, show up, build genuine relationships, and connect with opportunities beyond their immediate circles. Whether she is helping organize an event, introducing two businesses that should know one another, promoting a local organization, or championing the people behind a great idea, Sarah’s goal is simple: create connections that turn into opportunities and help businesses and communities grow together.
