A Note From Dick DeVos
Welcome! My life’s work in business, public policy, civic engagement, and education have been rewarding endeavors. That work continues today. I’m grateful for the opportunity to help mentor businesses, lead public policy initiatives, and support the rapid growth of West Michigan. My hope is that you are inspired and encouraged to join in creating positive change and leaving a lasting impact on West Michigan and beyond.

Pat Williams - simply put - was who made Orlando basketball possible . . . But he was so much more too. I’m so grateful to have known him and always appreciated his optimistic, can-do leadership. Thank you, Pat, for everything you did for the Magic. Without you, my family would not have had the privilege of joining the community of Orlando and stewarding the Magic for all these years. Your impact and legacy will never be forgotten. ... See MoreSee Less

The West Michigan Aviation Academy can be a model school for other aviation programs around the country. So glad to have the Orlando Magic’s Wendell Carter Jr. here in Grand Rapids to see our school firsthand as he and his Foundation launch their new aviation curriculum at two Orlando schools.
Fun to share what we’ve learned at WMAA ! Proud of you Wendell – great work !!

Hey Mr. Dick I like what you did to the Amway corporation. Not really. You screwed over a lot of families. Got rid of people who’ve been there for quite some time making decent money to bring in temps at pennies on a dime. But I guess it’s all about that money in your pocket Mr. greedy dickhead.
