She provides the coordination and communication between program facilitators, councils, and the GRC events team, while interfacing with the Grand Rapids business community.
Amy and her partner, Drew, have been married for 19 years and have three kids. They also have two very energetic dogs: Ace & Uma. When Amy is not watching her kids play soccer, she loves reading, being with friends, and running. She has lived in West Michigan her whole life and is thrilled to support businesses in her community!
