New IFLC Board Member

Nancy Combs

 

 

 

The intersection of health and faith is a very natural place for our newest board member, Nancy Combs. She has an MA in religion from Yale Divinity School and currently serves as the Director of Community Health, Equity & Wellness at the Henry Ford Health System.

 

"Health is always more than a physical matter," says Combs. "So health and faith go hand in hand."

IFLC Annual Awards Dinner

October 14, 2015

   

 

  

Each year, we gather to honor some of our community's exceptional activists, raise funds for our community outreach, religious literacy and conciliation efforts, and enjoy an evening with our interfaith friends. 


 This year, the IFLC annual dinner will be October 14th at Shriners Silver Garden in Southfield.  A pre-dinner interfaith reception begins at 5:30 pm with the dinner program beginning promptly at 6:30 pm. We hope to see you there. We are pleased to share this year's honorees with you, and we look forward to honoring them and hearing from them at the dinner. We hope you'll join us.
