Forums have been held in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Flint, Lansing, Saginaw, Oakland County and southwest Michigan to date with 30 to 100 people attending each event. In addition, the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce and the Upper Peninsula Economic Development Alliance hosted similar events in their areas. These forums supplement the many presentations we are giving across the state.
