Business Leaders for Michigan


Business Leaders for Michigan is a private, non-profit organization based in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Originally formed in 1970 as the Detroit Renaissance, the organization was reconstituted in 2009 as Business Leaders for Michigan with an expanded focus on the entire state of Michigan. Membership consists exclusively of the most senior level executives, and chairpersons of many of the state's largest employers and universities.

Mission

The organization regularly publishes research and benchmarking reports detailing the competitiveness of Michigan against other states in numerous economic and educational categories. Their goal is to use this data to develop strategy and raise awareness of issues facing the state, and to champion initiatives and advocate policy changes that their membership believes will enable public policy makers to implement policy changes to help advance the economy of Michigan.
