Changing Strategies Summit – Detroit Michigan

Sean McGee — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:34:35 +0000

Just returned from Detroit, where I had the good fortune to participate in the Changing Strategies Summit. We had a passionate, thoughtful group of community leaders exploring new approaches to persistent problems. I very much look forward to getting to know them better, and to collaborating on work to build the strength, success and sustainability of their community.

Our presentation is linked below.
