- The raising of additional funds for even greater financial support of area festivals, concerts and development projects such as the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum on the campus of Michigan State University.
- Dedicated focus on educational opportunities for area youth, including a hospitality curriculum for our area Magnet Schools.
- Continuing the growth and development of the Be A Tourist In Your Own Town event to further instill community points of pride to residents and leisure travelers.
- Funding and facilitation of studies and research of Best-in-Class destination development techniques and strategies.
