On September 29, 2022, SER Metro-Detroit will proudly celebrate its 50th Anniversary at its Annual Amigos de SER Business Recognition Luncheon to be held at 12pm at the Detroit Marriott – Renaissance Center in Detroit.

SER Metro-Detroit will hold its first in-person Amigos de SER Business Recognition Luncheon after nearly three years of a global pandemic. For this year’s Luncheon SER Metro announced its keynote speaker will be Curtis C.Farmer, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comerica Incorporated and Comerica Bank. He was appointed as Chief Executive Officer in April, 2019 and assumed the role of Chairman in January 2020. Prior to joining Comerica, Farmer was with Wachovia Corporation of Charlotte, N.C., where he served as Executive Vice President, Wealth Management. Under Farmer’s leadership, Comerica has been named among the top companies for diversity and inclusion by Diversity Inc., Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility, Human Rights Campaign Foundation, Michigan Veteran Affairs Agency and The Civic 50, among others.

In addition, the Luncheon will include an awards ceremony recognizing the many partners and employers who invest in SER Metro and provide support and employment opportunities for our graduates, making it possible for them to succeed and improve their quality of life.

This year’s Amigo Award will be presented to Comerica Bank for their ongoing financial support of SER Metro’s financial literacy and skilled trades programs. Additionally, AT&T will be recognized for its long-term partnership with SER to provide connectivity and access to technology and IT training to our underserved communities.

SER will present the “Employer of the Year Award” to Magna Seating for hiring more than 50 SER graduates/participants with a special focus on our Opportunity Youth (youth ages 18-24) who are disengaged from school and work, returning citizens or justice involved residents, and adults who have been long-term unemployed.

The Luncheon Program will give special recognition to Ignacio Salazar, former president and CEO of SER Metro-Detroit, who left in 2007 to become CEO of the SER National office in Dallas.

And finally, SER Metro will continue its tradition of recognizing the outstanding achievements of its graduates by presenting the “Journey to Success” awards to individuals who successfully graduated and completed their programs, including Wesley Dominguez, Tracey Riggs, Ivory Frith-Walker and Aron Castlin. They have all overcome enormous challenges in pursuing their education and career goals.

Two graduates who are attending a higher education institution will receive a scholarship from the Frank D. Stella Scholarship Program in recognition of their exemplary academic achievements: Johanna Flores and Onyekachi Olisakwe will each be awarded a $1,000 scholarship that will be presented by Frank Stella’s children Stephen Stella and Mary Ann Stella.

To register for this year’s event or for information on sponsorship opportunities, please visit SER Metro’s website at http://www.sermetro.org or email amigos@sermetro.org.

SER Metro-Detroit Celebra su 50 Aniversario

El 29 de septiembre de 2022, SER Metro-Detroit celebrará con orgullo su 50 aniversario con un Almuerzo Anual de Reconocimiento Empresarial Amigos de SER que se llevará a cabo a las 12:00 p. m. en el Detroit Marriott – Renaissance Center en Detroit.

SER Metro-Detroit llevará a cabo su primer Almuerzo de Reconocimiento Empresarial Amigos de SER en persona después de casi tres años de una pandemia global. Para el almuerzo de este año, SER Metro anunció que su orador principal será el presidente y director ejecutivo de Comerica Incorporated y Comerica Bank, Curtis C.Farmer, quien fue designado como director ejecutivo en abril de 2019 y asumió el cargo de presidente en enero de 2020, antes de unirse a Comerica, Farmer estuvo en Wachovia Corporation de Charlotte, NC, donde se desempeñó como vicepresidente ejecutivo de gestión patrimonial. Bajo el liderazgo de Farmer, Comerica ha sido nombrada como una de las empresas destacadas en diversidad e inclusión de capital humano por Diversity Inc., Hispanic Association for Corporate Responsibility (Asociación Hispana de Responsabilidad Corporativa), La fundación Human Rights Campaign, Michigan Veterans Affairs y The Civic 50, entre otros.

Además, el Almuerzo incluirá una ceremonia de premiación donde se les dará un reconocimiento a los socios y empleadores que han invertido en SER Metro y les brindan apoyo y oportunidades de empleo a los graduados de nuestros programas, permitiéndoles tener éxito y mejorar su calidad de vida.

El Premio Amigo de este año se entregará a Comerica Bank por su continuo apoyo económico a los programas de educación financiera y comercio especializado de SER Metro. Además, AT&T será reconocido por su asociación a largo plazo con SER, donde ha brindado conectividad, acceso tecnológico y ha capacitado en tecnologías de la información a nuestras comunidades desatendidas.

SER le brindará el “Premio al empleador del año” a Magna Seating por contratar a más de 50 graduados/miembros de SER con un enfoque especial en nuestro programa Oportunidad de Jóvenes (18 a 24 años) que están desvinculados de la escuela y el trabajo, ciudadanos que retornan o residentes que han sido involucrados en casos judiciales y adultos que han estado desempleados por un largo período.

El Programa de Almuerzos otorgará un reconocimiento especial a Ignacio Salazar, expresidente y director ejecutivo de SER Metro-Detroit, quien se retiró en el 2007 para convertirse en director ejecutivo de la oficina de SER Nacional en Dallas.

Y finalmente, SER Metro continuará con el tradicional reconocimiento de logros de sus graduados al presentar los premios “Journey to Success” a las personas que se graduaron y han completado con éxito sus programas, incluidos Wesley Domínguez, Tracey Riggs, Ivory Frith-Walker y Aron Castlin quienes han superado enormes desafíos en la búsqueda de sus metas educativas y profesionales.

Dos graduados que asisten a una institución de educación superior recibirán una beca del Programa de Becas Frank D. Stella, en reconocimiento a sus logros académicos ejemplares: Johanna Flores y Onyekachi Olisakwe quienes serán acreedoras de una beca de $1,000 para cada una, que será entregada por los hijos de Frank Stella, Stephen Stella y Mary Ann Stella.
