Smart Mayors Meet Millennials

Good for Detroit's suburban mayors.  They are launching an experimental venture called Millennial Mayors Congress, in which mayors and emerging civic leaders will collaboratively develop action-oriented solutions to regional challenges.  If it works, promoters believe it could break some serious SE Michigan barriers: increasing the access that young(ish) people have to decision making about their communities and crossing over the walls that prevent much-needed regional cooperation.  According to GLUE's Sarah Szurpicki, "Those are two really large birds to hit with one ambitious stone, but, to cite a favorite GLUE descriptor: we’re nothing if not ambitious!" 

So when will Detroit's new mayor join in?
