Rosalynn Bliss took office this year as the youngest female elected in Grand Rapid’s history. Now she is bringing youthful energy and new ideas to the Second Ward commission post.
According to excerpts from the story:
At a young 30 years old, Bliss very well may also be the city’s busiest and most energetic commissioner as she finds time to volunteer, do the city’s business and serve as director of prevention services for the Child and Family Resource Council — a nonprofit organization that works to prevent child abuse and neglect in the county.
“I’m a huge advocate of the neighborhoods,” Bliss said. “The city has some amazing neighborhoods, and I really want to see them supported and strengthened and for them to feel like the city supports them and is making their lives easier and not harder.”
