The progressive goal of the academies is to target community leaders who will most likely be the future leaders of Michigan.
Four academies are planned at locations across the state: April 2 at Kalamazoo Valley Community College M-TEC; April 9 at Oakland Community College M-TEC in Auburn Hills; April 17 at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant; and April 24 at Southgate Holiday Inn.
"We recognize that many of these local officials will likely be the next state senator or representative for their region," said Doug Rothwell, president and CEO of the MEDC. "The academies allow us to educate these leaders now on how to effectively use the economic development tools available."
The educational content of the academies will be delivered by some of the MEDC's most experienced senior executives. The topics include a general overview of the MEDC, how to best use economic development tools in each region and an update on the marketing efforts of the MEDC.
