Michael Rogers touched base with MBN Operations Director Jeffrey Mosher about where he, Chris Holman and other staff have been out and about across Michigan covering business stories so far during November.
The weather in November for Michigan had been beautiful, and MBN took in three events Wednesday November 2nd. They traveled to Southeast Michigan for MVCA the Michigan Venture Capital Association and their Annual Awards Dinner. Next Detroit's Ford Field played host to the Detroit Regional Chamber and their V.I.P. reception featuring Detroit Mayor Duggan. That stop served as the kickoff to MBN's Statewide 6-stop Economic Forecast Series which will continue through mid-December. Just up the road that evening in Southfield, the MIBB, Michigan Israel Business Bridge held their MIBB Ambassador Awards Dinner 2016.Thursday November 3rd the COBO Center, back in Detroit, hosted this year's Accellerate Michigan Innovation Competition. November 3rd-6th the MFEA, Michgian Festivals & Events Association held their 24th Annual Convention in Kalamazoo. MBN was on hand to help 'Party @ MI Place' host Sue Bila on Friday November 4th.
MBN then headed north on Monday to be on hand Tuesday November 8th, election day, at stop number two on the statewide Michigan Ecnomic Forecast Series and the 2016 Traverse City Economic Forecast Breakfast, this put on by the TC Area Chamber.

The trip north wasn't over as Chris and Jeffrey dropped into Petoskey, MI, and spoke with Andy Hayes of NLEA, the Northern Lakes Economic Alliance. Once across the Mackinac Bridge the destination was Marquette for the Wednesday November 9th Economic Forecast Breakfast hosted by LSCP, the Lake Superior Community Partnership, that marked the halfway point on the statewide Michigan Economic Forecast Series.
