My recent visit to Mackinac Island during the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac Policy Conference was well worth the trip. Besides being reminded of how beautiful it is in northern Michigan and the first time I made the trek to the conference 15 years ago as a candidate for Detroit City Council, I was excited to reconnect with friends and former colleagues from my time in state and local government. It was great to see and share a laugh and an embrace with Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist II , Tyrone D. Sanders Jr., Esq. , Kimberly Hoyle, Rep. Stephanie A. Young , Hon. Joe Haveman , Kris Kraft, William Wortz , Ron Stallworth , Dichondra R. Johnson, MBA, MPA , Donald Rencher , and so many others that I didn’t get to snap a selfie with before parting ways. You know who you are and the special place you hold in my heart. Special shout out to Charity Dean, Esq. for your leadership with the Michigan Black Business Alliance! Thank you and your partners at Black Tech Saturdays and Black Leaders Detroit for hosting another installment of “Blackinac” at Kingston Kitchen. Nicely done! Can’t wait until next year! Last, but not least, thank you Bob Doyle and my friends at MICPA for always looking out for me. I appreciate the opportunity to join you, Board Chair James N. Lopiccolo and chair-elect Laurie Horvath for the Annual MICPA on Mackinac Luncheon. I made new friends and had a chance to engage in dialogue about the CPA talent pipeline and how exposure is key to advancing the accounting profession. All in all, it was a great trip and delivered on everything that I hoped to accomplish and more! Until next time… #iamlisahowze #tlhe #mackinacpolicyconference #publicpolicy #advocacy #leadership #relationshipsmatter
