SUMMARY:Ally-Shoring: Strategies for Integration\, Growth\, and Regional Revitalization\, with John Austin
DESCRIPTION:“Ally-shoring” offers the United States benefits locally\, nationally\, and internationally. But what is “ally-shoring?” Why does it matter? And why is it important now? \n  \nSome define the term as “deliberately sourcing essential materials\, goods\, and services with countries who share our democratic values and commitment to an open\, transparent\, rules-based international economic and trade regime.” But that’s just the start of understanding the concept and how it plays out in the global marketplace. \n  \nJoin us for a luncheon conversation on this topic and the implications for West Michigan businesses with John C. Austin\, Director of the Michigan Economic Center. More on John Austin here. \n  \nNetworking and registration will take place at 11:30 before the luncheon begins at noon. Guests may park in the Fulton Lot off of Fulton St. \nThe deadline to register for this program has passed.
