Michigan has many assets, but none greater than its people. The people who call Michigan home keep the Great Lakes State great.
Once again, thank you to those whose talent, philanthropy and dedication make Michigan a great place to work and live.
Please help us identify those Michigan residents whose contributions and accomplishments qualify them for the new Michigan Class of the Year.
From unsung heroes to those in the public eye, please send us your thoughts on who should be honored.

Nominees can come from the business and philanthropic communities, arts and culture, sports, and ordinary people who have made their neighborhoods, and by extension, our entire state, a richer and more interesting place to live.
We are also seeking nominations for the Angelo B. Community Commitment Award. We are Henderson. The honor is named after the Pulitzer Prize winner and former Detroit News reporter and is given to individuals who tackle community challenges at the street level.
How to promote
To nominate someone as Michigander of the Year, please put together a one-page description of the person and how they have contributed to our state. Please enter your name and phone number.
Submit nominations by email to Executive Assistant Audra Erby-Lick at [email protected] Please put “Michigan of the Year” in the subject line.
Thank you for your help.
