	Judy Cunningham

Judy Cunningham, our administrative assistant, is a longtime Institute friend. In the early ‘90s, Judy supported the Institute’s successful drive to reform oil and gas drilling regulations. Then she set up recycling programs for school kids in Bear Lake, Brethren, Onekama, and Benzie County and convened 200 students for EarthSave, Manistee County’s first youth-oriented environmental conference. Last year, she worked hard on the campaign that stopped a coal-powered generating plant proposed for the City of Manistee; now she’s part of next June’s first-ever Manistee County Energy Fair.

	Carolyn Kelly’

Carolyn Kelly’s byline may be familiar to you: She interned with us in the summer of ’04, before finishing her studies at the University of Chicago. After her internship with the Congress for the New Urbanism, we hired her as our associate editor, even though she was a French major. Perhaps it’s visions of Paris’ urban beauty that inspire her deep passion for land use and thriving cities. Carolyn helps edit www.mlui.org, is lead writer on our upcoming town center development guide and affordable housing project, and authored this summer’s smash-hit “Ready to Pick” column, at www.LocalDifference.org.
