COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

VOLUNTEER • SERVICE • LEADERSHIP • ACTION

Our dedicated members are a group of active leaders that are engaged in our community. 


The rich heritage of every single member has been instrumental in the shaping and development of our community. In no other organization will you find the vast diversity of leaders dedicated to the common good and influencing positive change in people’s lives in West Michigan.

As a member, you are encouraged to share your talents on any of our volunteer committees, including those that engage with our community. The Community Engagement Committee leads our Club’s local community service initiatives.

Remember…..“The good you do comes back to you!”
