Global Ties Detroit is pleased to announce the addition of Britany Affolter-Caine, PhD to our Board of Directors.
Dr. Britany Affolter-Caine is the executive director of Michigan’s University Research Corridor (URC), an alliance of Michigan State University, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. As one of the nation's top university innovation clusters, the URC is a leading engine for innovation in Michigan and the Great Lakes region. Prior to the URC, Britany was the talent director for Ann Arbor SPARK, director of Intern In Michigan at the Detroit Regional Chamber and a senior research associate for the Metropolitan Policy Program of the Brookings Institution on the Great Lakes Economic Initiative. Britany serves as a director on the Michigan Strategic Fund board and member of the Michigan Advisory Committee to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. She earned her PhD in higher education policy from the University of Michigan, a M.Ed. in secondary education from Wright State University and a BA in political science from Wittenberg University.
Britany has appreciated Global Ties Detroit for many years and been actively engaged in recent years with its exchange program. She has met with several international delegations to share information about the URC and support greater understanding and interorganizational connectivity across nations and cultures. Britany looks forward to being more involved with Global Ties Detroit in the coming years.
Welcome, Britany! We look forward to sharing your skills and experiences to expand our reach and continue connecting Detroit with the world!
