The 2011 Michigan Summit will celebrate and champion progressive change that is thriving and driving Michigan’s cities and challenge us to make sure that all of Michigan moves forward together as we struggle through a decade of economic recession.

If states are America’s laboratories for democracy and innovation, cities are the nation’s scientists—testing, experimenting and arriving at solutions. From Traverse City to Detroit, and almost every city in between, activists, thought leaders and officials are pioneering change.

Whether the need is to expand freedom to include all of society’s families, erect the technology and manufacturing tools of a new, green economy or help working families compete in a political system that too often seems rigged against them, Michigan cities are most often where we find the best, progressive innovations.

Our 2011 Michigan Summit will challenge the rest of the state to live up to the promise of Michigan’s cities, and confront head on the barriers that need to be lifted so all of Michigan can make progress together.

Online registration will close today, May 18, at 5pm. You will have to register at the door at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center. Please email the Michigan Summit director for more information: karen@progressmichigan.org
