Making Michigan A Top 10 State: Bridgewater President & CEO Ronald E. Hall Discusses At Detroit Economic Club Event

May 5, 2022

What will it take to make Michigan a top 10 state? This was the key question that was discussed during this week’s Detroit Economic Club event that featured our President and CEO Ronald Hall as a guest speaker alongside Jeff Donofrio, CEO of Business Leaders for Michigan.

The takeaway? As noted by Crain’s Detroit Business, Hall believes fixing the state’s education system is more important than ever: “We’ve got to be more urgent, period,” Hall said, “and not take for granted that we’re going to continue to be an economy that can be rooted in manufacturing.”

The takeaway? As noted by Crain’s Detroit Business, Hall believes fixing the state’s education system is more important than ever as the future of automotive manufacturing in the state that put the world on wheels gets murkier by the day.

“We’ve got to be more urgent, period,” Hall said, “and not take for granted that we’re going to continue to be an economy that can be rooted in manufacturing.”
