Bridge Michigan

Bridge Michigan invites readers to join us Wednesday, September 29 for a very special Lunch Break event: a birthday party! Bridge Michigan is kicking off our 10th birthday celebration with a virtual event to mark the occasion,  honor the people who have made the last 10 years of journalism possible and look forward to the future. Please join us for this exciting event!

We’ll be joined by the Center for Michigan’s (Bridge’s nonprofit publisher) president and CEO John Bebow, founder and chairman Phil Power, project editor and senior writer Ron French, environmental reporter Kelly House, Capitol reporter Sergio Martinez-Beltran and membership director Amber DeLind. This hour-long discussion will be moderated by BridgeDetroit executive editor Stephen Henderson from 12 to 1 p.m.

This registration form also includes an opportunity to submit questions for our participants. Pull up a chair, grab your party snacks and join us for this kickoff to a year of celebration.
