P r o a c t i v e P l a t f o r m: A n d y S c h o r City and Schools I am the proud parent of two children in the Lansing School District. As mayor, I look forward to promoting the innovation and progress being made in our public schools. We need to prioritize familiarizing those with young children-- and those about to have children-- with the unique offerings our district has to offer, emphasizing Lansing as a district to choose. I will formalize a relationship between the Mayor’s office and the Lansing School District aimed at better showcasing and promoting the important improvements that we have made (and will continue to make). Moving forward, I would also like to see the City of Lansing partner with Ingham County, private partners, and the LSD to offer important wraparound services in our schools to help more directly address our community’s human service and socioeconomic needs. Additionally, I am committed to developing relationships with all of our schools (traditional public, private, and charter) as well as our higher education institutions in service of our community’s children.

They even thrived during the most challenging year many of us has ever experienced, which has also been true for our LRCC team. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the LRCC was steadfast in providing our region’s employers with meaningful, timely content and proactively turning challenges into innovation and resiliency while delivering leadership and value to the Lansing region. In 2020, the LRCC understood that local businesses were faced with so much uncertainty and forced to navigate an unknown landscape that presented many economic challenges. For that reason, LRCC was committed to finding ways to stay connected and support each other while physically apart. The results of our intensified efforts to communicate and connect with members were well received. In 2020, LRCC experienced TIM DAMAN 65% member engagement levels and 91% member retention, despite the challenges that demanded so much of our member’s President and CEO attention during the year. Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce As the voice of business in Greater Lansing, the LRCC recognized that our role in providing regional leadership was never more important than during the challenging times we have dealt with the past several months.
