The City of Southfield is not only Michigan's premier business address, but also one of the metro area's most desirable residential communities. Southfield is home to more than 73,000 residents from a wide array of diverse backgrounds.  Many very notable individuals reside within our city limits, from well-known professional athletes to successful business people, entertainers and artists. It is no surprise that so many interesting people from varied backgrounds call Southfield home, because let’s face it – every Southfielder is unique!

Do you have a friend, family member or neighbor who has a compelling story or background to share? Do you know any fellow Southfielders that have a special skill, talent, hobby or other unique trait that would be of interest or inspiring to others? Are you that person? If so, please let us know for a new feature that the City is rolling out. We are looking for those interesting, active and involved Southfielders who stand out in their civic or volunteer involvement or their unique skills or talents.

Please send your suggested Southfielder spotlight submissions to mmanion@cityofsouthfield.com. Include your name and contact information as well as the name, contact information and a short description of the person you are nominating. Self-submissions are also welcome and encouraged. Let us know what they (or you) do or have done that is interesting or unique.

Submissions will be reviewed and selected by the City’s Total Living Commission (TLC) based upon the above criteria. Those submissions not initially selected will continue to be considered at future review sessions. The City of Southfield will feature selected candidates on its social media, website and in future issues of the Southfield Living city newsletter.
