DBCFSN BOARD CANDIDATES
DBCFSN Members, our Annual Business Meeting is coming up! On Wednesday September 13th at 7pm we will gather to discuss potential by-law amendments, open the vote for new Board members, and discuss any other business of our organization. So far we have two AMAZING Board Candidates, Desiree Ferguson and Sherrie Smith (please click the button to read their bios), but we could use one or two more! DBCFSN welcomes all gender expressions on the Board. The Board is currently mostly women, so we are specifically inviting our brothers, Babas, male identifying people, etc., to consider serving on the DBCFSN Board at this time. Thank you for considering and see you in September!
Desiree M. Ferguson
Desiree M. Ferguson is self-described native Detroit mother, grandmother, wife, homeowner, social justice warrior and soon-to-be-retired attorney. Desiree currently serves as Special Legal Counsel for the Detroit Justice Center.
Sherrie
