The Old English D
From the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac policy conference:
Like all things in life, there are a vital few individuals who make things happen. One person who has played a key role for the Makinac conference and the chamber is Cindy Paske.
Cindy Pasky, CEO of Strategic Staffing Solutions Inc, is serving as the chair of the board for the Detroit Regional Chamber. After a year of service, she will complete her final two days in that role here at Mackinac Island. I have seen her dashing between activities and meetings, always with energy and enthusiasm. I am often struck at the commitment of individuals like Cindy--- a deep conviction to make this city and region better...stronger. And like most things in life, there is always a story behind that commitment.
For example, go to the web site of Cindy's company (www.strategicstaff.com) and take a look at the logo. For the longtime Detroiters, do you know notice anything familiar? When Cindy was a young girl growing up in Detroit, her father took her to the opening day of the Tigers every year. I would imagine she would describe it as some of her most cherished memories. When it came time to launch her very own company based in the City of Detroit, she chose the old English font of the Tigers and the color to match the seats at Tiger stadium.
So when I see Cindy leading in community, helping make this event, this region stronger, I think about someone who cares deeply about the people who live and work in the Southeastern Michigan. She expresses it in big and small ways. Started and keeps her company -- now an international one -- headquartered in Detroit. She works hard at growing her company while committing time to local non-profits that strengthen the region. Simply, she doesn't just observe, rather, she fully engages and participates.
When someone suggested she should update the company logo, she just politely said no. That logo means something; it stands for something. And I would imagine her father would find great delight in seeing the girl he took to the games leading the region to a better place. From my view here at Mackinac and back home in southeastern Michigan, we are all fortunate to have her presence and leadership.
