2010 Goals

The 98th Annual Dinner will feature a new venue and modified format in 2010. MSU's Wharton Center will host the event for the first time. In response to member feedback, the Annual Dinner will feature a strolling dinner, as opposed to the more traditional sit-down affair. That is intended to provide greater networking opportunities for those in attendance. The evening's highlight will continue to be the presentation of the ATHENA, Community Service and Outstanding Small Business Awards.

The 2010 Economic Club speaker series is one of the strongest in memory. MSU President Lou Anna Simon, U of M Athletic Director and former Domino's CEO David Brandon, and Phil Power, president of The Center for Michigan lead an all-star lineup.

LRCC will focus more heavily on its signature events in 2010 which will result in higher quality programming for members and the elimination of a handful of lower profile events.
