Featured Leader: Judy Moore

As a community leader and a leader within her own organization, Judy Moore has earned the respect of the hundreds of people she has helped through Leadership Kalamazoo. That defines her as the true servant leader.

Now, after more than 20 years at the helm of Leadership Kalamazoo, Moore is passing the torch to Callie Gaines at the Chamber of Commerce.

Moore has commanded trust, and her quiet and confident nature has earned her the respect of those who have come to share her passion for community building through leadership training.

All these things were obvious to those who shared in her work, and who will continue
the work she has begun. Less obvious, perhaps, has been the inner drive that kept
the program fresh and relevant. All too often, organizations languish because no
single individual provides the ongoing will to keep them alive. Moore -- utilizing
self-discipline and high energy -- not only kept things going, but also attracted
people to work with her and leveraged their talents and experience.

All the betting money is that Judy Moore will continue to have a positive impact on the greater Kalamazoo area. But don't let that stop you from thanking her for what's she's done.
