Leadership/Government Day
Lisa Sagala, the County Administrator from the Manistee County Government Center, welcomed the 2023/2024 Leadership Cohort to initiate our Government/Justice Day last Thursday. The cohort had the opportunity to engage in insightful conversations with Commissioners Jeff Dontz and Eric Gustad, along with our County Clerk Lindsey Marquent and County Treasurer Rachel Nelson. These discussions were highly productive and educational, providing the cohort with an in-depth understanding of why leadership matters even in our local government systems.
During our day, we visited the Lakeshore Children's Advocacy Center to learn about the importance of advocating for safe and supportive environments for children and families. We also got the behind-the-scenes tour of the Manistee County Sheriffs Department and Central Dispatch Center. We ended the day at the Oaks Correctional Facility learning about their Leader Dog Program for the Blind.
Thank you to the Manistee County Sheriffs Department for sponsoring the lunch provided by Big Al's Pizza and Subs.
Thank you to our Power Hour sponsor Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan which allowed our President and CEO Stacie Bytwork to share the importance of legislative advocacy and partnering with the Northern Michigan Chamber Alliance.
Thank you to our program presenting sponsors: Munson Healthcare Manistee Hospital, Filer Credit Union, and West Shore Community College.
