West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum was the first program of its kind in the Midwest. Over the past 25 years it has served as a model for similar programs to launch across the state and nation, having a direct role in the founding of sister programs in Detroit, Kalamazoo and Iowa, as well as our satellite programs in Michigan’s Great Southwest and Muskegon, and a number of other forums that did not prove viable over time.

As part of its current strategic plan, WMSBF is interested in expanding its geographic footprint where there is sufficient interest for a new satellite program. Ideally, we would prefer to partner with existing initiatives seeking new efficiencies of scale, but will consider opportunities at any stage in Michigan or Indiana.

We also interested in seeing our mission spread to other communities in the Midwest and nationally.
