I am very proud to head the only non-profit community leadership program focusing entirely on the assets and issues in Macomb County. Our program has grown over the years both in class size and unique experiences provided. We also started a program for High School Juniors (Junior Leadership Macomb), that engages teens in the County, gets them involved in community service, and offers them job shadowing opportunities. It is an honor to connect people, organizations and ideas and enhance the pivotal role we all have in our community. Show less
