“I’ve always had a passion for working with college students,” Thomas said. “When I was an undergrad, I was part of a mentorship program known as the African American Male Initiative. I served as a mentee, and then I became a mentor while I was older. I love sharing my story to inspire and motivate and encourage those who come after me.”

Grand Rapids City Manager Mark Washington was appointed to the Michigan Municipal League Board of Trustees, League Board President William Wild announced.
Washington will join a diverse group of community leaders representing communities of all shapes and sizes, said Wild, who also serves as mayor of Westland. He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the 19-member board with his term expiring in fall 2022.
With Washington’s appointment, the league board will now have 10 elected officials serving alongside nine municipal managers.
“We are extremely pleased to have Mark join us as we work to help our communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and reform our state’s broken system for funding its municipalities,” Wild said. “With Mark’s appointment, our board will continue to have representatives from some of our state’s largest cities working side-by-side with officials from some of our smallest communities.
