Pam Woodley, LOXIII, was honored as the ART of Leadership's Mentor of the Year at the Metro Detroit Mentor Collaboration's Mentor Celebration Gala on Thursday, January 25, 2007. The ART of Leadership Foundation, along with many other Metro Detroit mentoring organizations, will honor one outstanding mentor each who has exemplified the value of mentoring in the lives of young people. The Foundation's mission is to inspire vision and leadership in young people, giving them the skills to succeed in their lives and to be leaders in their communities. 

"There is always a need for volunteers. It's amazing the difference you can make by just spending a little time with these youths," explained Woodley, "I would really like to encourage folks to volunteer their time." 
The MDMC is a partnership between local mentoring organizations, along with Mentor Michigan. Working together with other agencies, it is their goal to strengthen mentoring in Metro Detroit and to celebrate the work of mentors. 

Leadership Oakland recognizes the need for successful leaders to be involved in the community. Please join us in congratulating Pam and keep looking for ways that you too can make a difference!
