Our Board and staff are so excited about this expanded reach, which has allowed us to increase access to the humanities across Michigan. We marvel at how much we learn every day as this humanities network grows! This makes me think of a funny quote by Milton Berle, who said, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” That is true! As we wrap up the current cycle of the Great Michigan Read, we are at 99 percent of our goal to be in every Michigan county. The Board and staff are also preparing for strategic planning, and with that process in mind, we seek to identify what opportunities -- and doors! -- need to be explored and built. An important part of preparing for that is our recent survey regarding Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA), which 98 people participated in. Once our IDEA Action Council has processed the data, we will share results. Thank you for helping us do better and to prepare for the future. We are gratified by the strength of your support, and thankful to the National Endowment for the Humanities and Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs for continuing to fund our work. I hope that if you have thoughts about the future of Michigan Humanities, or wish to support our work, that you contact me. I feel more optimistic than ever about what we can accomplish together. Shelly Hendrick Kasprzycki President & CEO Who We Are [MH Board and Staff] What makes community life worthwhile? Is it the relationships you build over time with family, friends, and co-workers? What about the good times and memories from attending annual festivals and events? Or is it the experience of working through difficult times that bonds us together?
