GRAND RAPIDS – The West Michigan workforce is experiencing manufacturing layoffs, high unemployment, and an uncertain future for manufacturing. How is West Michigan responding to the changing business climate, and how can business leaders help turn the local economy around?
On Thursday, Birgit Klohs of the Right Place Program will present a program in association with GlimaWest titled West Michigan’s Framework for Innovation. This program will address what the Right Place Program and innovative West Michigan businesses are doing to improve the economic future of our area. GlimaWest will present this program starting at 6:30 p.m.
This program, open to the public, will be held at Tre Cugini, 120 Monroe Center, Grand Rapids. The cost is free to members and $10 for non-members.
Elections for open board positions will also be held at the May event. The appointment of board members last fall to President and Vice President means these positions are up for a vote, as well as some openings on the board of directors.
