Detroit Regional Chamber

Congratulations to our recent Leadership Detroit class, #LDXLII, for graduating on June 16! Dan Piepszowski, who oversaw Leadership Detroit, spoke on his last cohort with the Chamber:

"This was a special group of leaders," he reflected. "First and foremost, they were willing to be part of the first class coming out of the depths of the COVID pandemic which took some flexibility on their part to remain committed to one another and the process. They were quick to establish relationships, projects to work on together, and plans to insure they stayed connected after graduation."
