To promote the Metropolitan Affairs Coalition’s mission of regional cooperation and honor the late Detroit Free Press Editor and Publisher Neal Shine’s legacy of commitment to the greater Detroit community, our two organizations partnered to create the Shining Light Regional Cooperation Awards. The awards program puts young, unsung, and accomplished leaders in the spotlight for their community involvement, regional impact, and promotion of collaboration, progress, and understanding in Southeast Michigan.
