The Northern Lakes Economic Alliance is a public/private nonprofit organization that serves four northern Michigan counties — Antrim, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, and Emmet. Based in Boyne City, Michigan, it operates within the business consulting and services sector, with a focus on economic development. Established in 1984, the organization aims to help local communities and businesses retain and create jobs. The alliance collaborates with local governments on infrastructure projects to enable company growth and expansion, and it assists regional firms with a range of issues affecting employment. It emphasizes a team-based, cross-sector approach that connects public and private partners to address development challenges and opportunities. In May 2025, the alliance announced its 2025 Annual Economic Symposium, reflecting ongoing engagement with the regional economy.
