Rhonda Bantsimba hasn't added a story.
I have lived in Michigan all my life and, to be honest, I have always taken this State for granted. Never before had I appreciated all that Michigan has to offer: the diverse agriculture, the cultural innovation, the beauty all around that Michigan offers its residents and visitors. It wasn't until I began my journey with the Great Lakes Leadership Academy's (GLLA) Leadership Advancement Program that I saw the richness and beauty of my State.
I have always had a soft spot in my heart for my hometown, Inkster, MI and have developed a love for my current town, Ypsilanti. Now my love spreads to the entire State of Michigan. GLLA is helping Michigan residents, including me, to develop into leaders that will make a difference in this state.
The mission of GLLA's Leadership Advancement Program (LAP) is to
promote positive change, economic vitality and resource conservation,
and enhance the quality of life in Michigan by encouraging
"leadership for the common good". I have been blessed to be
selected as part of the cohort for the 2014-2015 GLLA LAP. You can
find an in depth description of the LAP at http://glla.msu.edu/ap.html.
I have created this page to ask for donations in support of my
participation in the program that is empowering me to give back to
Michigan. Participation in the program costs $32,000. The sponsors of
this program generously invest $27,000 for each of us to participate
in this experience. Each participant is responsible for securing
$5,000 towards their own participation. I have been granted a $2500
scholarship from GLLA and am investing $500 personally. I am asking my
community of family and friends to support my participation, as a
local leader, in the LAP, by agreeing to make a donation towards my
tuition. In order to reach my goal of $2000, I am asking 200
people pledge at least $10.
You are, of course, welcome to donate more than $10 as that
will go towards my transportation to the various sessions around the
state each month. Your support means the world to me. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
Thank you for your consideration.
