CEDAM Members and Events
From weatherization to affordable housing, gardening to tax preparation, our members are doing great things for their communities. CEDAM’s monthly member news roundup features positive member news from around Michigan.
In addition, CEDAM staff have been interviewing CEDAM members for a short video mission statement. There is no sneak peak (we don’t want to give away the ending), but we will say that the video debuts on the big screen at the CEDAM Annual Event. Look forward to it at the end of April!
