Soon the Flint & Genesee Group will host our 2022 Annual Meeting, one of the region’s largest gatherings of executives, business owners and professionals, elected officials and community leaders. The meeting will be held on March 30 at the historic Capitol Theatre in downtown Flint, at 3 p.m. And I’m excited to say that we are back to congregating in person.
Our Annual Meeting is a review and celebration of the Flint & Genesee Group’s impact made in 2021. Specifically, the event will include a retrospective look at the local business climate and economy, provides an update on our progress in the first year of a three-year Strategic Plan, while at the same time, navigating challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We will also briefly highlight our vision for the future.
In addition, I am thrilled about our keynote speaker, Kevin Conroy. A Flint native, Kevin is the chairman and CEO of Exact Sciences, one of the world’s premier cancer diagnostics companies. Kevin has led Exact Sciences through the development, clinical trial, regulatory approval and commercialization of its flagship product, a noninvasive colorectal cancer screening test, Cologuard®. Under his leadership, the company has experienced exponential growth in employees and shareholder value. He’ll talk about their focus on innovation, his guiding principles and lessons learned along the way, and how things have changed for him and his company as a result of the uncertainty driven by the pandemic.
I hope you will join us as this is one of the key ways that we can communicate the impact Flint & Genesee Group is making on the economic success of Flint and Genesee County and its residents. Watch for more details soon.
Best,
Tim
