SUMMARY:10.13.22 - Jeremy DeRoo

He credits the trip to the Philippines when he was 18 as critical in developing his commitment to helping communities realize their potential as a means of ensuring social justice. \nDeRoo came back to Grand Rapids in 2002 to take a job as a housing coordinator at LINC\, which was just starting its first projects.  From 2002 to 2008\, LINC grew from 2 employees to 12 and DeRoo moved into the role of Operations Director where he oversaw the daily activities of the organization including primary responsibility for financial management. When the founding Executive Director left the organization\, DeRoo was named interim executive director and was appointed to the permanent Co-Executive Director position in July 2008. \nAs Co-Executive Director\, DeRoo has led LINC in revitalizing neighborhoods through authentic engagement\, stimulating economic development\, expanding housing opportunities\, creating affordable housing\, and developing leadership and capacity to residents and grass-root organizations. DeRoo has positioned LINC to create intentional connections at the national\, state\, local\, and block levels to maximize impact in the communities served. Recognizing the community development work within the urban core American context is connected to racial equity\, DeRoo has helped build a diverse team of employees and helped address issues of systemic racialization in Grand Rapids. \nSince starting with LINC\, DeRoo has helped secure over $67 million in funding for community improvement efforts resulting in over 300 families increasing their assets.

SUMMARY:2.9.23 - Scott M. Peters
DESCRIPTION:Scott M. Peters – Author\, Making Waves: Michigan’s Boat Building Industry\, 1865-2000 \nScott M. Peters is Curator of Collections at the Michigan Historical Museum in Lansing and a lifelong Great Lakes boater. A frequent contributor to Michigan History Magazine\, he has been collecting information on the state’s boat-building industry for the past 25 years. \nMichigan will always be known as the automobile capital of the world\, but the Great Lakes State boasts a similarly rich heritage in the development of boat building in America. By the late nineteenth century\, Michigan had emerged as the industry’s hub\, drawing together the most talented designers\, builders\, and engine makers to produce some of the fastest and most innovative boats ever created. Within decades\, gifted Michigan entrepreneurs like Christopher Columbus Smith\, John L. Hacker\, and Gar Wood established some of the nation’s top boat brands and brought the prospect of boat ownership within reach for American consumers from all ranges of income. More than just revolutionizing recreational boating\, Michigan boat builders also left their mark on history—from developing the speedy runabouts favored by illicit rum-runners during the Prohibition era to creating the landing craft that carried Allied forces to shores in Europe and the Pacific in WWII. \n
