Second Wave Media, March 3, 2025 - In Macomb County, community challenges rarely have simple, one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s where Advancing Macomb steps in, bridging the gap between nonprofits, businesses and public entities to create meaningful change for the community. By recognizing the importance of collaboration, the organization has helped launch initiatives that would have been difficult—if not impossible—to achieve alone. “Collaboration is kind of the name of the game these days,” Phil Gilchrist, executive director of Advancing Macomb, says. “We've been trying to set a good example for how others can also approach collaborative efforts.”
