Reporters Vickie Thomas and Matt Roush emceed the program and “panelist Deirdre Greene Groves, executive director of The Collaborative Group, outlined her group’s Challenge Detroit program that is expected to launch early next year and bring 30 young professionals into Detroit to live and work in the city.  But the group would also conduct challenges to help the city rebound.”

Challenge Detroit is making great strides.  Please watch for more updates in the near future.
