Local, regional, and national social good leaders and activists met in Detroit to collaborate and network over three action-packed days of Our Common Future, a joint conference of Independent Sector, Michigan Nonprofit Association, and the Council of Michigan Foundations.
A huge thank you to all the sponsors and exhibitors who made the event possible, and sincere appreciation for all the attendees, speakers, guest bloggers, and social media posters who helped engage and make meaning of the topics and issues discussed.
