ShareKalamazoo is pleased to announce, and be a part of, a new wave of community conversations across Southwestern Michigan, starting with Kalamazoo County.
Lam & Associates and ShareKalamazoo are partnering with the Center for Michigan, a respected state-wide "think and do tank." Local leaders Dr. Marilyn Schlack and Jim Hilboldt sit on the Center's board of directors.
The group is spreading its citizen engagement work throughout Michigan with a goal of gaining input from 10,000 citizens by the end of this year. Individuals who take part in the two-hour community conversations are providing both qualitative and quantitative information to help turn Michigan around.
This "Michigan's Defining Moment" public engagement campaign is a multi-year effort to heighten public awareness of the significant challenges and opportunities Michigan faces and tighten the focus of statewide leaders on a common ground agenda best suited to help Michigan achieve a new era of sustainable prosperity.
Watch the "Finding Common Ground" video to hear from others who have participated in our Community Conversations so far.
Want to join one of the community conversations in Kalamazoo County? Call the Special Events line (269) 345-1913. They'll also be taking place in other counties in Southwestern Michigan. The toll-free number outside the 269 area code is 1-877-255-2447.
