Catalyst University is a graduate-level experience offering instruction in community visioning, global economics and executive management.

As part of its commitment to build community leadership, Southwest Michigan First has designed this ongoing program to empower our region’s current and next generation of leaders to greatness.  

At Catalyst University 2012, you will experience a one-of-a-kind leadership event and:

• Expand your vision of the world
• Learn strategies for your business or organization to make our region stronger
• Gain perspective on your role in the global economy
• Challenge your traditional methods of thought and reasoning 
• Begin building your legacy

Southwest Michigan First hopes to see you and your peers at our two-day annual leadership event — January 24 to 25, 2012 — to ready yourselves to become the leaders of our future and keep Southwest Michigan on its course to global relevance. Get ready!
