4th Annual
South Eastern Michigan
Conference
Photos
The weather was rainy and cold, traffic horrendous. Yet more than 200 people poured into Michigan State University’s Management Education Center early on the morning of 23 Oct. for the 4th annual Veterans Entrepreneurial Training Conference. Speakers traveled from Chicago, Washington, Ohio and from neighboring Bingham Farms to provide assistance to veterans. Sid E. Taylor, CEO and Chairman of SET Enterprises capped a wonderful lunch with a keynote address that was inspiring, motivational and emotional. Below are a series of photos documenting that memorable day. Let’s revisit our visit with our clients and our friends.
