Melanie L. Grund's Email

Expert in: Relationship Building ♦ Organizational Processes ♦ Creative Writing ♦ Problem Solving My commitment to humanity and community organizing brought me to Northern Ireland early in my career. I organized an outreach program using the fine arts to illustrate to children on both sides of The Troubles their similarities. Working in a Congressional office, I know well the finer points of succeeding in a very fast-paced and ever-changing environment. At this position, my multicultural, political and non-profit contacts in Southeastern Michigan, Lansing, and Washington, D.C. have multiplied and strengthened. My goal is to use my connections to build bridges between and harness the strengths of businesses and non-profits, cultural icons and educational institutions, foreign and natural born citizens and finally, politics and constituents in order to affect grassroots change; starting in the Metropolitan Detroit Area.
