Join us for a Community Conversation.
The topic: How to improve education.
The Center for Michigan is a non-partisan, non-profit think-and-do tank based in Ann Arbor Michigan. For five years, we have been amplifying the voices of the citizens of Michigan to make sure that policy makers get clear direction from real citizens, not special interests.
We invite you to join informal town hall meetings we call Community Conversations. Share your views on how to improve education in the state of Michigan.
Our goal for 2012 is to engage more than 5,000 citizens in a Community Conversation about the future of education in Michigan. We’re especially interested in hearing from the CUSTOMERS of our education system: students, parents and families, and employers.
