The 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.
Nearly 5000 citizens across the state have participated in Community Conversations. We are looking for conveners to help us reach 5000 more. How does it work?
Contact us! Call the office at 734-769-4625, or drop us an email at info@thecenterformichigan.net. Tell us you are interested in hosting a Community Conversation.
We will put you in contact with one of the many Outreach Coordinators we have working across the state. They will help you with scheduling, sample invitations, answer any questions you might have, and provide support as you gather your group.
Find a location to hold the meeting. Community Conversations have taken place in offices, homes, community centers, libraries, churches, etc. Any place that can comfortably hold 20-25 people for two hours will work.
Invite your friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Anyone you think is interested in participating in building a new, stronger Michigan. Your Outreach coordinator will stay in contact with you throughout the process to offer assistance and support.
Leave the rest to us! A professionally trained moderator will run the meeting and record the results. Each participant will utilize an electronic polling device to vote on a variety of strategies and action steps.
Please consider hosting a Community Conversation. We are particularly looking for conveners in the Saginaw, Bay City area, Grand Rapids and the Detroit M
