Cassandra Shorter New Store Manager at Goodwill of Charlevoix |
|
Meet Cassandra Shorter, the new Store Manager of our Goodwill Charlevoix store. She is celebrating 12 years with Goodwill Northern Michigan, where she's risen to become Regional Manager, leading our Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Cheboygan stores.
Adding Charlevoix to her regional managership suits Cassandra just fine – it's her hometown! Cassandra is a true Wonder Woman, shown here with her Wonder Dog Captain. She creates order, improves systems, and supports her team in empowering employment at every turn.
"I'm getting back to my roots," she said of her new role in Charlevoix. "I grew up and graduated high school in Charlevoix and it's where I've built so many relationships." Cassandra works hard to make sure everyone feels safe and welcome, and we're grateful to have her on our team, taking on new leadership roles.
"Cassandra has a great ability to create a good place to work and to develop and lead her team to be successful with operations and culture. During her career with us, she has taken on more responsibilities and larger roles. I know she will have great success in Charlevoix," said Robert Randall, Goodwill Northern Michigan's Chief Operating Officer.
Cassandra enjoys working at a place where proceeds help do things like rescue, harvest, repack, and distribute 2,119,481lbs of food to area food pantries and community meal sites, provide transitional housing for Veterans experiencing homelessness, move 272 people from homelessness into housing a year, and provide 30,942 nights of shelter through our housing and homeless services annually. "It means a lot that our work in the stores directly impacts some of our region's most vulnerable neighbors," she said.

North Central Michigan College Announces Summer Corrections Officer Academy |

To help address the need for qualified corrections officers regionally and statewide, North Central Michigan College will host a four-week Local Corrections Officer Academy beginning July 18. Funding provided by Michigan Works! and Michigan Learning & Education Advancement Program grants will cover a portion or all of the $1,500 tuition.

The academy provides 160 hours of intensive training — the equivalent of a full semester’s classes — condensed into an accelerated program comprised of hands-on training, classroom demonstration and lecture.
