"Elissa Hillary has served as executive director of Local First since 2007, her tenure marked by a period of unprecedented organizational growth. A graduate of the Community Leadership program at Aquinas College, Elissa’s commitment to West Michigan is rooted in the belief that locally owned businesses are critical in driving the economy and supporting the community. Today, that philosophy has achieved significant results, as Local First’s membership has grown from just 150 local businesses in 2007, to more than 800 local businesses in 2015. Led by Elissa Hillary, Local First has attracted national media recognition for its efforts, and is regarded as the premier organization advocating for local businesses in the Midwest."http://www.localfirst.com

Local First with Executive Director Elissa Hillary

Welcome back family!  Did you miss me?  Well I sure hope that you did because I surely missed all of you! Well family we are in for a great new season on the air and we are starting the week out with one of Grand Rapids' own Ms. Elissa Hillary who is the Executive Director of Local First! Author Michael H. Shuman, author of Going Local said, " Going local does not mean walling off the outside world.  It means nurturing locally owned businesses which use local resources sustainnably, employ local workers at decent wages, and serve primarily local consumers."It means becoming more self sufficinet and less dependent on imports.  Control moves from the boardrooms of distant corporations and back into the community where it belongs." This is the ideology our guest Elissa Hillary embraces, so pull up your seats, turn the volumne up, and listen to a great show this evening as we engage in informative conversation with one of the premier leading women in the city of Grand Rapids, the one and only Elissa Hillary!
