EXPERIENCE GRAND RAPIDS
DRIVING CONNECTION. INSPIRING IMPACT.
“Destination strategy and civic leadership are not separate conversations, they are the same conversation. That is the belief that anchors our partnership with the Michigan Delegation of the Congressional Black Caucus, and it is the belief that makes Experience Grand Rapids proud to serve as premier sponsor. West Michigan is a region with extraordinary assets, world class venues, a thriving cultural economy, and a community that is as welcoming as it is dynamic. When we bring our elected officials into that experience, we are not just showing them a great destination. We are building advocates. We are building allies. And we are building a bridge between our elected officials and the heart of Grand Rapids that will strengthen this region for years to come.”
