Are you an innovator? Want to connect with other innovators? Then save the date for our next Speaker Series on Wednesday, June 27 at D:hive, the new downtown Welcome Center at 1253 Woodward Avenue.

We're excited to welcome Christopher Gergen to Detroit to share his experience. Christopher is the co-author of the nationally acclaimed book Life Entrepreneurs: Ordinary People Creating Extraordinary Lives and writes a column on social innovation for the Raleigh News & Observer and the Charlotte Observer titled "Doing Better at Doing Good."
