West Michigan Business Leaders Driving Progress Together

Twice a year, we convene senior business leaders from across the 13 counties of West Michigan. Our Spring and Fall CEO Council meetings are unparalleled gatherings of those with the power and influence to drive systemic improvements to our talent system and the prosperity of our region.

Each CEO Council meeting provides a rare opportunity for senior leaders to network with their peers, share insights and learn from each other. Agendas are focused on action: We review key metrics and labor market information, hear presentations focusing on critical challenges, and report out from table discussions about promising and practical strategies. 

Improving Talent Strategies Together

Each HR Council gathering allows HR and DEI executives to network with their peers, share insights, and learn from each other. Agendas are focused on deployable strategies based on data and research. We review key metrics and labor market information, hear from experts in the field, and engage colleagues in productive discussions.

We partner to develop solutions to shared challenges. We humanize TalentFirst’s data and research to influence policymakers through storytelling. We learn from and inform each other of observations,  opportunities, and experiences.
