Steering Committee

Our grassroots steering committee offers a microcosm of MiCAN membership meant to promote collaboration, connection, and shared investments of time, energy, and resources to build power for the climate movement overall.

Steering committee members’ expectations for insight, direction, and contributions to MiCAN’s operating model and grassroots mobilization objectives are outlined in the position description adopted in August 2023.

2024 Community Voices Series

The Michigan Climate Action Network is guided by a grassroots Steering Committee, led by our member organizations. This committee ensures our mission stays grounded in the lived realities of communities across Michigan. These member groups are frontline organizations—leading the fight against climate change and shaping the grassroots solutions needed to truly center justice and equity in all that we do.

In 2023 and 2024, we drew on the deep knowledge and expertise of these organizations by hosting a series of member-led workshops. These sessions helped identify challenges, surface resource opportunities, and build shared understanding across the network.

Through this series, people from across the state gained a clearer view of the work happening in Michigan’s climate movement—and how we can collaborate more powerfully moving forward.
