Join us for the first monthly meeting of 2024!
Arthur Havlicek, President and CEO of Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber (a member-based business advocacy organization serving Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties), will join us to present on the declining population of Southwest Michigan and how we, as employers, have an impact.
Program Summary:
Southwest Michigan has been experiencing a steady decline in population for several decades. This decline, coupled with a rapidly aging population, represents an existential threat to regional economic prosperity and the overall well-being of all who live and work in our community. This presentation will discuss various demographic trends, their implications, and the strategies necessary to reverse course and grow our population.
