Previous Events
Detroit and Grand Rapids Speaker Series - Michigan’s Economic Drivers
In the fall of 2010, MCF kicked off a speaker series with two events. Sponsors included the DMC, Priority Health, Warner Norcross & Judd, the Van Andel Institute and Mosaic Wealth Management.
The first was held at the Detroit Medical Center and focused on the economic impact of healthcare, the Detroit Medical Center, and plans for Detroit’s Midtown development. A panel discussion was moderated by Mary Kramer, Publisher of Crain’s Detroit Business, and featured:
- Michael Duggan, President and CEO of the Detroit Medical Center
- David Egner, President of Hudson-Webber Foundation and Executive Director of New Economy Initiative
- Dr. David Fike, President of Marygrove College.
The second event, held in Grand Rapids at the Van Andel Institute, focused on “The Next Generation.” Speaker David Van Andel discussed the work of the Van Andel Institute, healthcare as a building block for West Michigan’s economy, and the importance of working to retain millennial talent. The Van Andel Millennial Board was featured at this event, as was student talent from the Hope College Jazz Band, Aquinas College vocalists and Alma College choir.
Future events will be held on topics relevant to MCF and our collective efforts to attract, retain and engage millennial talent to help with Michigan’s economic transformation. Visit here again for more details, or contact MCF at 248-356-3114 for more information!
