Mason school board selects new superintendent

SOURCE: by Will Kangas - Ingham County Community News / LSJ Media -- Aug. 12, 2014

Ronald Drzewicki The Mason Public Schools Board of Education unanimously voted on August 11, 2014 to offer White Pigeon Superintendent Ron Drzewicki the job as the district's next superintendent. The board will begin contract negotiations with Drzewicki, who was chosen from a field of 23 other applicants, including 13 current superintendents. The district has been searching for a new superintendent since June when Mark Dillingham resigned after being at the post since 2010. Dillingham's annual salary was $110,000. Drzewecki, 50, said he talked with students and parents in Mason during his visit and heard nothing but positive pride. "Mason is a place where people love their school and love their community, and I can't wait to be part of that," he said. Challenges are inherent with the job of superintendent, but it is easier when staff and employees care so much about their district, he said. "Mason is a very desirable place to work," he said of the 13 other superintendents that applied for the job. "It is well known that the district is a great place to be a part of, and it didn't surprise me that there was a lot of competition." He has been White Pigeon's superintendent for six years. The school district is located in St. Joseph County in southwest Michigan. White Pigeon Community Schools has a combined junior high and high school last year and one elementary school with a total enrollment of 763 students. The board interviewed Drzewicki and co-finalist Kyle Hamlin was at a special meeting Monday afternoon. Board members said they were impressed with both candidates but Drzewicki had the edge. "Ron has the experience and vision," board member Laura Cheney said. "That's why I preferred him." Drzewicki graduated from Western Michigan University and earned a Master's degree in education leadership from Eastern Michigan University, according to his biographical information online. He taught middle and high school math and has 15 years of experience as a middle school principal.

GLCVB members are also invited to attend this seminar that is hosted by the Central Michigan Chapter of Public Relations Society of America: What Makes People Tick? - What Every Communications Professional Should Know about Human Behavior and the New Marketing Normal Your customers are easier to understand when you know what drives them. Anthropology is the quest to understand human beings and why we do what we do - through this social scientific lens, knowing how to reach and influence people through marketing is much easier. As humans, what drives us is often grounded in very good reasoning, although not always expressed in rational behavior. We didn't always have money, the internet or even commerce, but certain things about humans like our love for storytelling or our need for companionship and our passion for anything innovative haven't changed in thousands of years.

The Center has friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers who share recommendations, directions and the latest news about the Mason area. Chamber staff are all Certified Tourism Ambassadors through the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau. Several times a year, the Center operates an outreach booth, staffed by Chamber Ambassadors and other volunteers, to provide community information to keep visitors coming back to the Mason area. The Center now has a booth at the Sun Dried Music Fest on August 22 & 23 and the Down Home Days Courthouse Show in September. In the past two years, with so many new residents coming into the Mason area, the Mason Area Visitors Center is now also busy answering questions and providing information for their needs as well. That's why members of the Chamber are encouraged to distribute any of their coupons, ad specialties, flyers or other promotional materials at the Center and outreach booths. They may also volunteer to staff the outreach booths and to drop off any items for distribution at the Chamber office a week before each event.

MASON 150 CLUB AVAILABLE TO INDIVIDUALS WANTING TO SUPPORT MASON AREA SESQUICENTENNIAL IN 2015 Joining the Mason 150 Club gives you an opportunity to show pride in our community!

This year and next, your Mason Area Chamber of Commerce will continue to host popular community events, such as the Courthouse Concerts, Spring Fling, Independence Day Parade, Down Home Days, and Mason Holidays Light Parade. These Chamber-hosted events help improve the quality of life for Mason residents and attract visitors to our growing community. To better celebrate the Mason area's sesquicentennial, the Chamber would like to co-brand the events with "Mason 150" in the upcoming year of 2015. The Chamber's sesquicentennial involvement began with Mason 150 streetlight banners that went up in 2013 and will be up through 2015. But there's a lot more to do. We now need the assistance of individuals to join our new "Mason 150 Club" to provide necessary funding for that co-branding. To become a member of the Mason 150 Club, you simply make a $150 contribution toward this co-branding effort of the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce. Just write a check and send it in! A chance for the Mason area to celebrate like this just doesn't happen very often, so only the first 150 people are eligible to join. Contributors will receive their choice of up to $50 worth of thank you gifts imprinted with the Mason 150 logo shortly after joining the club. Some of the possible items from which to choose include a baseball cap, polo shirt, bumper sticker, key chain, luggage tag, calculator, coffee mug, lapel pin, t-shirt, magnetic clip, tote bag, and many other items. Displayed with pride, those items will help spread the world about our Mason area's sesquicentennial. It's easy for you to help the Chamber get the celebration started by sending a personal check for $150 to MACC, 148 E. Ash Street, Mason, MI 48854. We'll contact you right away about your choice of gifts. Mason 150 Club members will also have their names listed in promotional material thanking Mason 150 contributors. Dart Container Corporation has awarded the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce a $1000 contribution to help kick-start the Mason 150 Club and help us get ready for the year-long celebration, but now we need your individual contribution. Besides the many co-branded community and networking events of the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce, a number of other sesquicentennial events are planned by other community groups. For example, the City of Mason has a "Legacy Tree Project" that is requesting individuals and families to contribute $150 toward the planting of a tree in a Mason park. A number of unique community events specifically for the sesquicentennial year are also being planned. The Chamber encourages local businesses and organizations to set aside some promotional budget for 2015 to support those events. More information on business and organization sponsorships will be coming soon.

Final Note:

Continuing a 42-year tradition, the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce publishes its "MASON in Motion" printed and mailed newsletter near the end of each month. This hard-copy newsletter has information about Chamber events and programs, new Chamber members, news from member businesses and organizations, and more - in a short four-page format. The several insert pages included in the newsletter each month are designed to be removed for easy sharing or posting within a business or organization. For this reason, the Chamber has decided to continue distributing this newsletter in the conventional manner with no opt-out. This also maintains value for limited advertising. Advertising inserts are just $100 per insertion to reach 440 key decision-makers in the Mason area. This newsletter is mailed to all contact people for Chamber members, Chamber volunteers, and select stakeholders. A .pdf copy of the newsletter is also available to all the same day it is delivered by the post office at the Chamber's website www.masonchamber.org. Deadline is the 20th of the month for all submissions. Items are included as space is available and submissions are edited for space and consistency of the publication. Since August of 2006, the Chamber also publishes a mid-month "MASON in Motion UPDATE" newsletter electronically. This e-mailed newsletter is forwarded to all who have submitted their e-mail addresses to the Chamber, provided they are associated with a Chamber member, are a Chamber volunteer, or are a select stakeholder. A link to the archive on the website for the .pdf copies of the printed and mailed "MASON in Motion" newsletter is included in the UPDATE. A .pdf copy of this UPDATE newsletter is also available to all at the Chamber's website www.masonchamber.org under the "Newsletters" tab. Deadline is the 10th of the month for all UPDATE submissions. All items submitted are included, subject to minor editing for publication consistency.
