“The MIC provides a unique opportunity to seek out shared solutions to common challenges. We are well positioned to think carefully about the changes that our region is experiencing and be proactive in maximizing the opportunities afforded to us,” said Dave Shorey, Innovation Officer. “I am so looking forward to serving the communities that I care deeply about as the Innovation Officer."
