Policy Summit: Focus on the Future, November 3, 2009
The State of Michigan is at a pivotal moment in our history. Faced with a deep and lasting recession and resulting severe state and local budget cuts, Michigan must diversify from a manufacturing economy to a knowledge-based economy. 2010 marks a watershed year for Michigan with elections to replace 2/3 of the legislature, a new executive branch, redistricting and the possibility of a constitutional convention. It is time to focus on Michigan’s future and libraries must be part of the conversation.
Join us for MLA’s first Policy Summit to focus on statewide policy issues, learn to articulate how libraries are making a difference and have a voice in setting the agenda for Michigan’s future.
