How often and where does the ERC meet?

Forums are held on the third Tuesday of the month from September through May at The War Memorial, 32 Lake Shore Drive, Grosse Pointe Farms.

What does the ERC do when it meets? 

We bring like-minded people together to network and to hear informative speakers. We expand our understanding of important local, state, and national issues, and offer a learning opportunity to friends and other community members. Presentations may be in the form of lectures or panels.

Check out our Events page where future events are announced. You’ll also see a long list of past events and speakers.

Who is invited and is there a cost to attend? 

The public is always welcome. Admission is free, though a $5 donation is suggested to help cover expenses.

How much are membership dues? 

Annual dues are only $35 per household, or pay $100 for a four-year membership! Chip in $500 and become a Lifetime Member.

What is considered the “east side”? 

The ERC serves the northeast corner of Wayne County, Michigan (east of Mount Elliott), including the eastside of Detroit, and suburban communities of Harper Woods, and the five Grosse Pointes. But the truth is that folks visit us from Oakland and Macomb Counties. 

How is the ERC governed? 

A seven-member board is elected annually to govern the ERC.
