Impact for the Long Haul

There are those who are spectators to life. And there are those who are participants. Ed Deeb is a participant.

Ed, President of the Michigan Food and Beverage Association, is a co-founder of Metro Youth Day. Recently, Metro Youth Day celebrated its 25th year anniversary.

The first event 25 years ago had 1,100 participants. At this years gathering there were over 30,000 youth on Belle Ilse from all across the region. This has become the largest youth event in Michigan.

Ed is one of those champions who gets others involved. He would be the first to tell you that it has taken many co-champions to move the event forward. But without his leadership, Metro Youth Day would not be possible. He has been the core ingredient to its success.

In a time when there are questions about "where have all the leaders gone", sometimes we just have to look right around us. Ed Deeb is someone for us all to model.

Thanks for reading. Pass it on.
