We kicked off 2026 with a bold, new strategic vision focused on strengthening and supporting our entire community!

Our Annual Installation of the Board of Directors at the Connect Senior Center was a tremendous success and truly set the tone for the year ahead. We were honored that Judge Diane D’Agostini of the 48th District Court once again donned her judicial robes to install our dynamic and dedicated board. Thanks go to our community partner, West Bloomfield Parks, for their collaboration.

This is a year of impact – turning words into action and intentionally identifying and responding to the needs of our community. Our highly anticipated Leadership Luncheon returns on April 29, with the powerful duo of KC Crain, president and CEO of Crain Communications Inc.; and Roop Raj, FOX 2 evening anchor and host of the Pulse, emceeing. Their insights into the impact of regional, national and international events on businesses promise to be timely, relevant and inspiring.

This fabulous event will be held at Wabeek Country Club. There is an admission fee to attend, and it is sure to be well worth the investment.

Our Health and Wellness Fair will take place on Tuesday, June 16 at the West Bloomfield Township offices. This important community event will offer valuable medical and wellness resources to the public at no charge, while vendors may participate for a fee. It continues to be one of our most impactful outreach initiatives.

Other exciting 2026 events include:
- Key to the Township Awards Breakfast
- Golf Challenge at Pine Lake Country Club on September 29
- Women’s Holiday Pop-Up in November
- Our reimagined Not-So-White Elephant Charity Party on an even larger and more exciting scale

Special thanks to Henry Ford West Bloomfield for its generous sponsorship of these events.

Our new board, led by co-presidents Jennifer Taylor-Boykins and Shawn St. Andre, is energized and ready to usher in a year filled with innovation, collaboration and measurable results. We are committed to demonstrating just how serious we are about the success and growth of our business community.

This year will serve as the blueprint for the years to come – a year defined by leadership, action and lasting impact.
