President's Point of View: Rock on Next Gen
May 6, 2008
It seems the blog entries that get attention beyond the borders of West Michigan are those that show my more crabby side like the entry from yesterday! To show that I’m not that crabby, I want to say that the staff at the GRCF are all enjoying the Council on Foundations Philanthropy Summit from afar through the blogs and the COF website chronicling the plenary sessions and other breakout meetings. The different perspectives are very interesting.
What I am particularly thrilled about is the focus on the Next Generation and the sessions that are designed specifically to focus on this! This has also caught the eye of one of our millenials at the GRCF, Amanda St. Pierre, who is working on developing other ways to attract the younger audience not only to the GRCF but ideas for attraction and keeping ‘em here in the most beautiful part of the state of Michigan!
I wrote about the Youth Grant Committee a few posts ago and we are honored to have so many bright young people from across our county involved with us! So keep it going!
I love it when you're crabby, Diana!! :-)
