About Flint Club
Flint Club was founded in 2001 as a positive platform for promoting Flint, Michigan and the dedicated organizations and individuals who make it a great place to live, work and play. Founders created the organization as a vehicle for members and non-members to engage in programming which enhances the social fabric of the community. Like Flint, Flint Club has been through a series of evolutions from an organization with a full-time executive director and contract staff to the current organization which is run and administered by volunteers. In 2012, the four member board and other key stakeholders engaged in a planning process with the BEST Project. At that time, the board reviewed the mission, vision and values for the organization and developed key strategies for moving the organization forward and clearly distinguishing it from other community efforts. Flint Club leadership will focus on five organizational goals and three programs in 2012 and 2013 which aim to support the renewed Flint Club mission and community engagement efforts.
