Dennis McDavid has been with the Berkley School District since he was hired in 2005 as an English teacher at Berkley High School. He joined the Berkley School District after a successful 13 year career in the private sector in which he held positions of increasing responsibility with GMAC, Chevrolet and OnStar. His last position before leaving OnStar was leading a team in selling OnStar services to European automobile manufacturers. At that time,he returned to college to earn his teaching credentials and taught for a short time at Phoenix North High School in Phoenix, Arizona, before working for Berkley Schools.While teaching in the BHS English Department, Mr. McDavid was recognized as Berkley's nominee to the Oakland County "Teacher of the Year" program. In 2007,he was asked to assume the duties of Principal at Berkley High School. Although rare for a teacher to move directly from the classroom to the leadership position of a well-regarded comprehensive high school, it was felt that the skills and experiences of building and leading teams in the private sector would translate well to leading a high school. During his time as Principal at Berkley High School student achievement scores improved, the Professional Learning Communities model (already in place) was enhanced and several academic initiatives were introduced.In the fall of 2009,McDavid assumed the duties of Director of Schools and Human Resources for the Berkley School District. In that role he was responsible for the day to day operations of the schools, working with each school's leadership team and handling and improving all of the human resources functions of the district for all employees. He served on contract negotiating teams, employee and student discipline hearings, and hiring committees. In March of 2012, the Berkley School Board named Mr. McDavid Superintendent of the Berkley School District beginning July, 2012. The focus of Mr. McDavid's work as Superintendenthas been improving outcomes for all students by attracting and retaining only the best teachers and administrators. The District has established partnerships with over three dozen private and parochial schools. Valuable partnerships have been established with organizations like Equal OpportunitySchools and Dollars for Scholars as well as local businesses and municipalities. The Berkley Education Foundation has focused on elementary enrichment for all students. Mr. McDavid has led the District through four successful ballot initiatives. In 2018, Mr. McDavid was one of four people in the nation to be named a Kennedy Center/Stephen Sondheim Inspirational Teacher.His work continues to center on how to best serve his students and his community.

Maestro Roger Nierenberg made his New York conducting debut at Avery Fisher with the Pro Arte Chorale and Orchestra. He was soon invited to conduct operas in two successive seasons at the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York's Lincoln Center. Thereafter followed long, successful tenures as Music Director of both the Stamford Symphony in Connecticut and the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida. Guest conducting invitations came from the National Symphony, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Detroit Symphony, the Saint Louis Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony, the Indianapolis Symphony, the San Diego Symphony, and many other great American orchestras. Abroad he has recorded with the London Philharmonic and conducted at both the Prague Spring Festival and the Beijing Festival. He has collaborated with many of the most renowned solo artists and composers of our time. During his tenure with the Jacksonville Symphony, the seeds were planted that would lead Maestro Nierenberg to a startling departure from the conventional, through the unparalleled creation of The Music Paradigm. Through his experiences engaging with community businesses and civic leaders, he became curious about the challenges and opportunities faced by organizations in times of rapid change. He quickly realized how crucial issues of organizational development could be powerfully brought to life within an orchestra. Thus was born The Music Paradigm, which has taken Mr. Nierenberg to the podium of over ninety different orchestras, before hundreds of different organizations in twenty-three different countries. Many of the lessons learned on this journey are presented in his book Maestro: A Surprising Story About Leading by Listening which was honored in 2009 as the Best Leadership Book from 800-CEO-READ. Roger Nierenberg makes his home in New York City and has two children, a son who is a professional pilot and a daughter who is studying French horn.

Julie and Mark Fisher are the co-founders of Echo 70, an Employee Advocacy Consulting firm. Julie has been educating people in one way, shape or form for the past 27 years. Her evolution in education began as a high school teacher on the South Side of Chicago and continued in Metro Detroit.She later worked as Executive Director of the nonprofit organization, BBFA (Building Better Families for Action), which focused on parent education about risky kid & teen behavior. It was during her tenure there that issues around parenting digital natives became a concern, so she created and led educational programs for both parents and students that gave them answers to real-life questions about tech and social media use. This led to her to start The Social U, where they created technology to deliver detailed social media report cards that used IBM's Watson to "grade" every post in a user's history and get a personalized Social GPA. Echo 70 allows Mark to combine his experience as a business owner, lawyer, salesman and risk management consultant with Julie's experience as a Social Media expert, author, trainer and keynote speaker. After 6 years as a litigator defending the car companies country-wide, Mark spent 20 years running and co-owning a major Risk Management firm with more than 100 employees across the country, leading Sales, HR, Compliance, Vendor-relations, and Marketing, in addition to growing EBITDA by 700%. Mark wants to share his knowledge with businesses that want more and better Sales, Employees, and Brand Awareness, without running afoul of the FTC or the NLRB, or alienating their current employees.

It all started with Jessica's passion for natural foods. As an avid baker with a background in engineering, she loves the science of cooking. Jessica enjoys spending her weekends trying new recipe combinations: "What if I add a dash of this? What if I reduce that?" She always bakes with simple, pure ingredients. Jessica's aim is to create food that is delicious and healthy. Food that she feels good about eating and sharing. They say necessity is the mother of invention. And that certainly has been true for all Jessica's products. She created the granola when her husband discovered he was gluten-intolerant and said he missed oat-based granola. Finding gluten-free oats was a challenge and finding a certified gluten-free facility was even more challenging. Yet, they finally were able to launch their granola, and in the spring of 2009, Jessica's Natural Foods was born. Since then their granola has expanded to over 30 states!
