3 Leadership Shifts That Actually Drive Results 5/7/2026 12:00 Noon - 5/7/2026 1:00 PM

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 08:13:17 GMT

I wanted to share with you a free, virtual workshop that I'm presenting next Thursday, May 7th, at Noon: 3 Leadership Shifts That Actually Drive Results.

It’s designed for newly promoted leaders (or those wanting to uplevel in their current roles) who are finding themselves spending most of their day reacting - emails, meetings, constant issues - and not getting to the work that actually moves things forward.

If you are, or know, someone who:

Has recently been promoted
Is feeling overwhelmed or stuck in “reaction mode”
Or is ready to step into more strategic leadership

Please register and/or pass this information along to them?

Here’s the registration link:

I’ve found this is a really common challenge, and my goal is to give leaders practical shifts they can apply immediately.

Material World: Ten Women 5/21/2026 - 8/23/2026

Thu, 07 May 2026 14:40:47 GMT

Material World: Ten Women, an invitational exhibition organized by the Muskegon Museum of Art, features women artists working with non-traditional materials or using traditional materials in non-traditional ways. The exhibition highlights the use of the physical characteristics of material and technique as a component of both visual and conceptual themes. Many of the works use found objects common to the everyday household, or bring elements from nature into inside spaces. Painting, sculpting, weaving, and assemblage merge in surprising ways throughout the show — crocheted metal wire is transformed into complex organic shapes, steel rod is welded into traditional vessel forms and animal shapes, paintings are cut apart and reassembled on the loom, birch bark becomes quilt-like in complex geometric arrangements, and quilts become soft sculptures and drawings, amidst many other approaches that surprise and delight. The participating artists are: Marcelyn Bennett-Carpenter, Boisali Biswas, Elizabeth Brandt, Kristin Casaletto, Kim Cridler, Nanci LaBret Einstein, Hattie Mendoza Lee, Anne Mondro, Mary Stoppert, and Susan Yamasaki.

For 44 years, Friends of Hackley Public Library has worked in partnership with the Library to champion the humanities through the Hackley Distinguished Lecture and Commendation for Service to the Humanities Awards. Every year, someone with ties to Muskegon, and who has distinguished themselves in the humanities, presents a lecture as a means to educate and engage the community.

Our 2026 Hackley Distinguished Lecture will be presented by Frank Bednarek. The title of his presentation is Bad Bunny, Snoop Dogg, & Martha Stewart: Why We Need Them. This talk will connect the challenges to our local cultural institutions with an assessment of our strengths and ways to support and defend our community’s cultural life and heritage.

The lecture will take place on Thursday, May 21, at 7 p.m., at the Muskegon Museum of Art, with a reception following at Hackley Public Library.

The event is free and open to the public.

Frank is a former Muskegon Administrator, Owner of Frank Bednarek Consulting Services, and Partner/Co-Owner of Hooker DeJong Architects & Engineers. He is also a dedicated patron of the arts. Among his many community involvements, Frank is currently Chair of the Muskegon Museum of Art (MMA) Trustees & Co-chair of its Capital Campaign. The MMA is a place where Frank’s immeasurable contribution of time and talent has had a regional and national impact.

Commendation for Service to the Humanities Awards will be presented to Don Crandall, Nancy Crandall, Kathy Evans, and Phyllis Wahlberg (in memoriam). Each of these individuals has made deep and lasting contributions to the humanities in Muskegon County, which will be celebrated at the event.

Among the many women animators featured are:

• Lotte Reiniger -The legendary animator/director of the earliest surviving animated feature film.
• Mary Blair - The beloved concept artist behind Disney films such as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.
• Lillian Schwartz – The visionary artist who brought animation into the digital age.
• Bessie Mae Kelley – The newly-discovered animator who worked for Bray, Fables and Fleischer Studios, creating the earliest-surviving hand drawn animated films directed by a woman.
The exhibition is curated by Mindy Johnson, award-winning author, historian, filmmaker, and educator. Johnson is a preeminent expert on women’s roles in animation and film history.
