At LARA, we take listening seriously. This summer, Marlon Brown, Director of LARA, is hosting a series of informal, small-group conversations with LARA employees across the state. It's a chance to connect, ask questions, and hear directly from our leadership in a relaxed setting.

Today, Director Brown, LARA Chief Operating Officer Courtney Pendleton, and LARA Chief Legal Officer Adam Sandoval stopped in Grand Rapids to talk with staff about the future of our department, next year's budget, and how the culture we've built makes LARA a great place to learn and grow.
