The Detroit Regional Chamber is a well connected and influential force powering the economy for Southeast Michigan. Serving the business community for more than 100 years, the Detroit Regional Chamber is one of the oldest, largest and most respected chambers of commerce in the country.<\/p><\/div>\n

Idrees Mutahr, an alum from Wayne State University, is a Challenge Detroit Fellow at the <\/span>Detroit Regional Chamber<\/span><\/a> where his efforts have been focused primarily on the <\/span>Let\u2019s Detroit <\/span><\/a>platform. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe just launched Let\u2019s Detroit in September and Idrees has been integral in getting the platform launched and through the first few months of being live. Idrees is using his photography, design and writing skills to implement a lot of the day-to-day work for Let\u2019s Detroit and we\u2019re able to apply what he\u2019s learning with Challenge Detroit to the project as well. Through Challenge, Idrees is learning about community engagement and design thinking, which he\u2019s applying directly to his work at the Chamber through the Let\u2019s Detroit initiative. The project would not be anywhere close to where we are today without Idrees\u2019 creativity, thoughtfulness and vision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Watch Idrees\u2019 video to a get a glimpse of where he works and what he\u2019ll be working on for our next Challenge Project.<\/span><\/p>\n
