this programming is for civic leaders who are influencing change and progress where they live and work.

That can mean anyone that are economic development professionals, chamber of commerce leaders, government employees, and those that are elected officials. We do this work through two avenues:

The Sought-After City Program helps cities of all sizes attract & retrain residents by deepening the understanding and connection in the community. By helping cities tell their story, more people can have a better understanding & appreciation of where they live and work.

The Leadership Exchange Program provides civic leaders from around the world with a turnkey Leadership Exchange Trip to Detroit that includes keynote speakers, panel discussions, site visits, special access tours, local meals, and unique activities. The most successful leaders focus on continuous learning and innovation, and Detroit is full of that and inspiration.
