Daniel P. Gilmartin,
Executive Director, Michigan Municipal League

The League’s Public Policy Initiative
Wednesday, October 1, 4:30-5:30 pm

Over the course of the past year, the League and its new Community Design and Education Center has hosted a series of public policy forums with an outstanding roster of speakers from around the state and country. The purpose of the forums was to inform and inspire local officials to think differently about how we move communities forward in new and creative directions. With Michigan continuing to face serious economic challenges, we believe that it is our communities that will lead the way and be at the center of this state’s economic turnaround. Michigan is going to have to reinvest in its communities and diversify its economy if it is going to compete in a knowledge-based economy in the 21st century. Working toward creating a “sense of place” is part of this challenge and opportunity. Dan Gilmartin will lead the discussion about the results of these forums and where we go from here!
