Henry Executive Center

Purpose: To bringing a diverse group of professionals together to meet and begin a dialog on sustainable development in Michigan.
Audience: Fifty-five participants attended the spring 2004 Forum. Invited participants were drawn from MSU faculty, graduate students, and non-academic professionals who were nominated by a SMEP Executive Committee member.
Outcomes: Forum participants engaged in a facilitated process, led by Dr. Richard Bawden, where they created and examined scenarios about the future of Michigan’s rural communities, ecosystems, landscapes, and economy. Information and ideas that emerged from these scenarios are being used to develop a research agenda, which will subsequently be considered by the Executive Committee for SMEP supported grants.
