TalentFirst exists because the CEOs of West Michigan have aligned on behalf of regionwide prosperity, with the understanding that our success depends on a reliable supply of world-class talent. No other group is better positioned nor has greater insight and influence to drive solutions to the complex talent challenges we face.
The CEO Council provides top executives with the rare opportunity to collaborate with peers to drive solutions on behalf of their organization and our entire region. Benefits of membership include:
CEOs lead our work participating in steering committees for initiatives making an impact on West Michigan’s talent ecosystem. TalentFirst’s action-oriented approach convenes of a cross section of regional expertise and leadership to drive the project’s direction and to identify the relevant issues and deployable solutions.
