What is Off The Island??
Recognizing that young professionals may not be aware of or able to attend the Mackinac Policy Conference, we host Off the Island and invite thought leaders to discuss impactful policy topics.
The future economic environment in southeastern Michigan, the state, and the nation influences young professionals as they become the next philanthropic leaders in the community.
