The Talent Attraction committee of Northeast Michigan Council of Governments is hosting a networking night (and focus group) targeting the young professional age group (roughly 25-35) in the Cheboygan area. We are interested in hearing why you live in Northern Michigan, what you like best about the area, and what you think would attract the younger crowd. We invite you to join us at the Mulligan’s for an evening of free appetizers, discussion, and networking. Drinks will be available for purchase. Feel free to invite people you think would be interested, and please RSVP!
