Michigan Rural Network is now housed in Lansing, and we are open for business!  The Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM for those who prefer the world of acronyms) has provided office space in what we have affectionately dubbed “the Annex”.  Thanks CEDAM! 

This has been a time of change for the network as we transition to a Lansing-based office and a full-time staff person as Coordinator (more on that later).  Many thanks to those of you who have worked hard to bring us to this point, especially to the Coordinating Partners and to Mitch Whitaker for your service over the past year. 

Over the next few weeks, we will be meeting with network partners, members, and stakeholders attempting to answer the question “What do you WANT and NEED from the Michigan Rural Network?”  Let us know what you think…you can find us here on our blog, Facebook, Twitter,  and email.  

So tell us – what do you want and need?
