The Michigan Summit

The Michigan Summit was created to fulfill a critically important need as a venue for shared ideas and strategies, as well as to provide a media spotlight for progressive policies and messages. When the Summit’s founding organization Michigan Prospect became inactive, Progress Michigan stepped in to ensure this asset for the progressive community would continue.

Michigan Summit 2010: A Blueprint for Change will bring together advocates, new progressive thought leaders, government officials and movement professionals at MSU’s Kellogg Center in East Lansing. At our fourth annual summit attendees will provide the fuel for driving and implementing change in 2010 by sharing ideas, successes and skills.
