We’re still riding the high from last week’s Michigan Land Bank Association Leadership Summit! 💚🏡
What an incredible few days of collaboration, connection, and inspiration right here in Battle Creek!
As we look back on the 2026 MLBA Leadership Summit, we’re reminded that events like this are about so much more than presentations and breakout sessions. They’re about the people, partnerships, and shared commitment to building stronger, more vibrant communities across Michigan.
👏 To our sponsors: THANK YOU! Your generous support helped us bring this event to life, create meaningful experiences for attendees, and showcase everything our community has to offer. We couldn’t have done it without you!
🤝 To our attendees: Thank you for showing up, sharing your experiences, asking thoughtful questions, and bringing so much energy and enthusiasm to every conversation. Whether you’ve been in the land bank world for decades or are just getting started, the knowledge and connections shared last week are what make this network so special.
💚 To our staff and Board of Directors: Your dedication, hard work, and commitment to our mission made this event possible. From months of planning and preparation to welcoming guests, coordinating sessions, and handling all the little details behind the scenes, you went above and beyond. We are incredibly proud of this team and grateful for the leadership and support of our board members!
And to our speakers, community partners, volunteers, and everyone else who helped make the summit a success, we can’t thank you enough!
We’re proud to have hosted you in Calhoun County and hope you left with new ideas, valuable connections, and a little extra love for Battle Creek!
