Christa Howley will become
the executive director of the
Northville
Educational
Foundation.
Howley, who has been work-
ing as the assistant to former
director Jennifer Roosenberg,
accepted the job when
Roosenberg left the organization
to take a position with the
OaklandCountyBar Association.
“We were all surprised when
Jennifer gave her resignation,
but after the shock wore off, I
knew I wanted the opportunity to
lead theNEF,” saidHowley.
Howley, a 14-year-resident of
Northville and University of
Michigan graduate, had a career
in management consulting at
Deloitte after earning her MBA.
She took a break fromher career
and corporate life to raise her
family.
Her volunteer work included
initiating the Motor Moms &
Dads Program at Ward Church
preschool. With three children in
the Northville school system,
Howley assisted in the class-
room, chaperoned field trips,
monitored lunchrooms and
helped with reading programs.
Beyond the schools, she volun-
teered with and led a local Girl
Scout Troop and helped with
programs at her church. Howley
volunteered at Northville
Educational Foundation events
prior to becoming the assistant
director.
Howley said she always knew
that when she returned to the
workplace, it would be in the
non-profit sector.
“During my MBA program, I
had an internship at Focus:
HOPE in downtown Detroit. It
was an amazing experience.
After that, I knew that eventually
I would end up at a non-profit.
When the time was right, I start-
ed looking.”
When the position of assistant
at the Northville Educational
Foundation became available,
she applied immediately, she
said.
“I love our community and
our schools so when the opportu-
nity arose to work here, I jumped
on it. It is a non-profit that bene-
fits every child in the Northville
schools, including my own. It was
a win-win situation. Then when
Jennifer left, I approached Mark
Knoth, the president, about the
opportunity to become executive
director.”
Howley said that one of her
goals is to get more people
involved in the foundation activi-
ties and efforts.
“Strong schools build strong
communities. We have a top-
rated school district, which pre-
pares our students to become
leaders in the workplace and in
our communities.
“Right now state funding for
schools is not keeping up with
inflation. The Northville
Educational Foundation is still
needed to help the district to
keep pushing the needle for-
ward,” Howley said, “I would
love to help make Northville
schools the best in the state.
Together, as a community, we can
continue building strong
schools.”
It is a non-profit that benefits every child in the
Northville schools, including my own.

Canton will welcome Santa at annual breakfast
‘Small Works’ now on sale
Seven Mile and Haggerty Road is owned
by a developer and is the site of the
University of Michigan Northville Health
Center and several restaurants and retail
stores.
The power plant at the hospital, one of
more than 18 original outbuildings, has
already been demolished along with
another structure at the site. That work,
too, included asbestos abatement and the
removal of hazardous waste. The town-
ship paid about $920,000 for that work,
Nix said. The contract for the demolition
of the main building does not include any
work at the other outbuildings.
The township, according to Nix,
spends about $100,000 annually to police
the property and thieves have taken valu-
able metals and other materials from the
site. He said that those activities
increased the clean-up cost of the contam-
inants at the site bymillions of dollars.
The demolition of the building will
include the two underground levels in the
building. Adamo employees will fence the
perimeter, install video surveillance and
floodlights at the site and install a mobile
office, according to a statement from Nix'
office.
