  3. Thank you for the endorsement Nancy Schitchting: "Communication doesn't just happen...has to be strategic." #mpc12

  9. Former DC Mayor Williams is decrying one of the evils of business & government - analysis paralysis. Refreshing to hear. #mpc12
  10. For those outside, biz in Downtown #Detroit is starting to boom. But the City is in financial crisis & neighborhoods are hurting. #paradox
  11. One of the most anticipated sessions of #mpc12 is about to start. "Detroit: A Tale of 2 Cities." Check it out via mivote.org.
  12. Pssst... client @DPSFndtn is gathering Detroit Public Schools alumni attending #mpc12 for a Tweetup at 4pm on "The Porch." Pass it on.

  17. Listen to #mpc12 panel: Entrepreneurial companies are key to future for MI & Detroit we all want. "Big companies" can't do it all anymore.
  18. So @onetoughnerd wants us to brag about Michigan as "The Comeback State." Count me in, Governor. #mpc12
