President's Point of View: Spirit of GR - Part 2.5!!!
August 13, 2008
I was just reminded by Laurie Craft our GRCF Program Director who focuses on economic and community development and promotes regionalism and fostering cooperation … that I forgot to link to a GREAT Detroit Free Press article published on Sunday, August 10th! Don Stypula, the Executive Director of the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council in West Michigan, alerted many leaders to this article on Monday morning if we missed it on Sunday. Here is the link to the article.
As Don described it in his email, “Several weeks back, Jeff Gerritt, an editorial writer with the Detroit Free Press, spent several days in our area to observe how we interact and why we have been more successful than other areas in building and nurturing a sprit of cooperation and collaboration.”
Certainly demonstrates that we are on a strong positive path looking to 2025!
