Incompass Michigan recognizes that cooperation, partnership and leadership are key to the success of our association. We value every member and what they add to the collective – empowering each other and strengthening our industry as a whole.

We have two opportunities for members to celebrate the power of this connectivity and to recognize their peers.

The Essence of Collaboration Awards give distinction to member organizations (or individuals from a member organization) who took specific, meaningful action in support of another member, or a group of members, to the benefit of all.
