LMB Joins the MEC EcoSystems Conference

October 10, 2024

         

On October 6-7, LMB’s Development and Membership Director, Nicky Bates  attended the Michigan Environmental Council’s (MEC) ECOsystems Conference, held at the scenic Crystal Mountain Resort. This exclusive, immersive event brought together professionals from MEC’s member organizations to collaborate, learn, and grow in areas such as policy, communications, engagement, development, and operations.

The conference provided an excellent opportunity for nonprofit teams to gain insights into best practices across various fields. Attendees were encouraged to exchange innovative ideas and discover tools to strengthen their organizations. In addition to attending sessions, Nicky led a mountain bike group ride, open to all conference attendees, giving participants the chance to experience local trails while connecting with fellow environmental advocates.

A highlight of the event was the ECO Prizes competition, where organizations competed for one of three $10,000 cash awards designed to help transform big ideas into impactful actions. We were honored to participate and showcase our efforts alongside other member organizations working to make a difference in Michigan communities. LMB is proud to have taken part in this inspiring experience and looks forward to implementing new ideas and collaborations fostered at the conference.
