You change and your connections, culture and conclusion can all change. That is the power of conversations, particularly on Mackinac at the Detroit Chamber Policy Conference.

This week hear from Garrick Rochow, CEO of Consumers, AG Dana Nessel, Lew Roubal from Depart of Health/Human Services and a newcomer to our world but full of life and passion for the work our friend Yasmeen Jasey from Citizens Bank. All four from varied background and all have a hunger to see food security created statewide.
