Organization Name: Office of Global Michigan
Organization Overview: The Michigan Office For New Americans (MONA) was created to help grow Michigan's economy by retaining and attracting global talent; to promote the skills, energy, and entrepreneurial spirit of our immigrant communities; and, to make Michigan a more welcoming state.
Governor Rick Snyder announced his vision for the office during the 2014 State of the State Address, saying that "We need to focus on immigration and make sure people know Michigan is the most welcoming place."
Consistent with that vision, Governor Snyder signed an executive order in early 2014 creating MONA. The office supports immigration and immigrant integration initiatives for the state. It works with state agencies that provide services to immigrants and refugees, and tries to minimize or eliminate barriers to accessing those state services. MONA analyzes and makes recommendations to the Governor on state and federal policies and programs. It also leads the Global Michigan and Ethnic Cabinet initiatives. MONA partners closely with refugee resettlement agencies, economic development organizations, ethnic service providers, universities, our state Ethnic Commissions and many other organizations around the state. Additionally, it strives to make Michigan a more welcoming state. MONA’s work touches the areas of licensing, workforce training, education, housing, healthcare and quality of life.
As Governor Snyder has said previously, “We are the best Michigan when we are a diverse Michigan – one that is made up of people whose stories and journeys are not identical. One path to success and prosperity looks different than the next, which should be celebrated and encouraged.”

Organization Name: Podcast Polskie Detroit
Organization Overview: Pamiętasz stare, dobre czasy gdy telewizja i radio były czymś niezwykłym?
Ludzie zbierali się przy odbiornikach, szukając rozrywki czy dostępu do najnowszych informacji. Programy były nadawane o określonych porach. Jeśli się spóźniłeś – mogłeś mieć pretensje tylko do siebie.
Na szczęście świat się zmienia. Dzięki podkastingowi czas nadawania nie jest już tak ważny. Gdy tylko pojawia się nowy odcinek podkastu, Twój program ściąga go z serwera i umieszcza w Twoim telefonie, komputerze lub odtwarzaczu plików. Zazwyczaj automatycznie i za darmo. Ulubionego podkastu możesz słuchać kiedy chcesz i gdzie chcesz. Podkasting pozwala uniezależnić się się od tradycyjnych mediów. Nareszcie każdy może swobodnie się wypowiedzieć. Niezależnie od tego czy ma coś do powiedzenia, czy też nie.
Dlaczego podkasting staje się coraz bardziej popularny?
Po pierwsze, każdy może stworzyć swój podkast. Nie są potrzebne satelity, wieże przekaźnikowe czy studio nagraniowe. Większość twórców podkastów potrzebuje tylko mikrofonu, komputera i podłączenia do Internetu by prezentować światu swoje audycje. Dzięki temu dostępne są podkasty na prawie każdy temat. Sytuacja polityczna w Tajlandii, programowanie aplikacji na iPhone’a, czy uprawa pomarańczy na Florydzie nie będzie dla Ciebie tajemnicą dzięki podkastom.
Po drugie, podkastów można słuchać nie tylko na iPodzie. Podkasty to zwykłe pliki mp3, których możesz słuchać na komputerze, wszelkich osobistych odtwarzaczach plików audio. Gdziekolwiek jesteś – podkast może Ci towarzyszyć.
Podkast Polskie Detroit jest jednym z najstarszych, a także najbardziej popularnych polskich podkastów. Nieprzerwanie, od czerwca 2005 roku, w każdą niedzielę ukazują się kolejne odcinki audycji. Zapraszam do słuchania!

Organization Name: Polish Women's Hall of Fame
Organization Overview: Polish women have long had a reputation for beauty, intelligence, and courage.
Poland herself has appeared in iconography, especially in the Romantic era, as a woman bravely suffering oppression, defying her tormentors or grieving her sons and daughters. People call to mind Queen Jadwiga, the legendary Princess Wanda or the brilliant Marie Sklodowska-Curie when Polish women are mentioned. But the full story of their accomplishments finds almost no place in the popular history of Poland. Yet, it is a rich, inspiring and complex story that gives us new perspectives on the history of Poland and Polish communities throughout the world. We can never fully understand who we are until we join the histories of our mothers to that of our fathers.
It is for this reason that the Piast Institute founded the Polish Women’s Hall of Fame as a record of the story of Polish Women and as a resource for our community, schools and universities, and especially for young Polish women—and indeed young women everywhere so that they might know and remember.
The Polish Women’s Hall of Fame is a virtual exhibit hosted by the Piast Institute that seeks to honor and raise awareness of the stories of women’s lives and contributions to Polish and Polonian culture and history, and the contributions of women of Polish birth or descent to the world. Housed online, the project provides biographies, photographs, bibliographies, and articles on both individual prominent women and on the more general history of Polish women both in Poland and abroad.
Individuals or groups may be nominated to the Hall of Fame in any of six categories:
Arts and Humanities
Religion
Science and Education
Public Life and Service
Sports
Philanthropy
