Getting Things Done…

Big Changes…

Ignite Lansing, Communities, and Schneider
Posted on March 8, 2010 | View CommentsOkay, before I begin, I didn’t attend Ignite 3.0. I did make it to 2.0, so I know what it’s about: I support it whole heartedly. It is part of this larger movement, I’ll call it the #LoveLansing movement, that we have been engaging in... -
