IMPACT 2014 brings you panel discussions on:

  • How we leverage our local educational system to attract economic benefits and improve quality of life, specifically growing our business community while increasing our residential talent pool.
  • A timely exploration of the pros and cons of November’s ballot measure asking if Ann Arbor Public Schools should annex Whitmore Lake Public Schools, looking into the details of the proposal and covering all angles of how it could affect our students, our community and our economy.
  • Getting the most out of our college and career readiness efforts by understanding what we are doing to ensure our students are ready to succeed at college and in their careers and what the business community needs from this process.
