Welcome to the Mid-Michigan Innovation Team! Irma Zuckerberg, Director of the MMIT, and I are pleased that you have stopped by to see all that the MMIT can offer you.
Through the Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) initiative, this website will connect the Mid-Michigan region by sharing information about the MMIT, including our partners, meetings and events, resources, newsletter and other pertinent publications. Being a member of the MMIT and part of the mid-Michigan region is all about connections.
Mid-Michigan's success as a region will depend on our ability to share information that allows us to develop partnerships and discover opportunities for growth. We're on an exciting path to transformation, and this is only the beginning.
Be sure to let us know your news, successes and activities so we can highlight and post them on the Web site. After all, we can't tell how far we've come unless we know where we've been, and we're counting on you to help us tell the story.
