North Shore Civic Club Presents: The State of the Great Lakes

The North Shore Civic Club (NSCC) is a registered 501(c)(3) with a mission to promote civil discourse on pressing issues of the day. NSCC’s main avenue for promoting civil discourse is through forums and events. The inaugural forum, The State of the Great Lakes, will address resiliency, law and policy, and the economics of the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes hold 84% of North America’s fresh water, they are an essential component of life in the United States and Canada. The Great Lakes support 48 million people with drinking water and provide over $60 billion in wages annually. However, as fresh water sources in other parts of the country begin to dry up, increased attention will be on the Great Lakes.

At the forum, attendees will learn how to protect their fresh water source and ensure it is clean, resilient, economically robust, and plentiful for generations to come. Speakers include:

• Scott Sowa, Juli Plant Grainger, Great Lakes Director, The Nature Conservancy
• Joel Brammeier, President and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes
• John Austin, Economist from the Brookings Institution and the University of Michigan

The State of the Great Lakes would not be possible without support from our generous sponsors: the Junior Garden Club of Lake Forest and Angel Water, Inc..
