A familiar face to City Connect Detroit, Sherry McGee is on her second run with the organization as Project Champion with the Long-Term Care Collaborative. She coordinates all activities for the Long-Term Care Collaborative, including engaging members in the collaborative process, acting as liaison between the Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA) and disseminating information about individual roles and collaborative goals, and ensuring that those goals are met.
Sherry McGee first began working with City Connect Detroit in 2003 as a Consultant working with the Detroit Community Partnership to Eliminate Lead Poisoning. In this role Sherry worked closely with Dierk Hall and Marcia Horngren drumming up funds and community organization support to match existing funding to further the Collaborative’s work.
Currently working on her Ph.D. in Health Psychology, Sherry earned both her Bachelor degree in Business Administration and her Masters in Business Administration from Wayne State University, degrees she used to great extent as owner of the Apple Bookstore in Detroit.
Born in a region many consider Paradise - Honolulu, Hawaii - Sherry, whose parents were in the service, finally settled in the North. She has had a rich array of professional and personal experiences. Prior to working at City Connect Detroit, Sherry worked as a Consultant for the Booker T. Washington Business Association in Detroit, and as an adjunct faculty member (part-time) at Davenport University teaching Philosophy, Human Relations and Management, and Management Theory.
In addition to studying health psychology and the new concept of positive psychology, Sherry is a Certified LifeStyle Counselor® and personal trainer with specialties in weight and stress management and healthy aging. She is a lifetime member of the National Black MBA Association, and is also affiliated with the National Association of Women Business Owners, American Association of Lifestyle Counselors, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In her spare time Sherry volunteers with programs like Meals on Wheels, loves to read and enjoys the spiritual experience of traveling, specifically to Hawaii and Hilton Head, South Carolina.
