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.
250 years ago, a group of ordinary people made an extraordinary declaration -- that freedom is worth fighting for, self-government is worth defending, and the future belongs to people willing to build it.
Today we celebrate 250 years of the greatest country the world has ever known.
Here’s to 250 years of freedom and continuing the work of building an even better America for generations to come.
Happy 250th Birthday, America !!! 🇺🇸 ... See MoreSee Less

Dick God Bless America! You may or may not remember we had a very brief chat at Hungary open in 1991 a blonde hair young boy with a dream. I sponsored people in to the Business in Hungary Hong Kong and it apparently spread to Canada china etc yet I was forced to abandon the business which was not my fault and could not renew. I was under Glen and Kerry Yole anyway I’m so disappointed because I never knew what happened to my business because of privacy. I’m still in the business at a different capacity as an ibo no customers no ibos in my team due to the fact that my Ukrainian neighbours have forcibly and unethically snatched them all out of my hands as did happen to my 1991 team. I’m sorry to have bought it up here all my correspondence has also been intercepted by them they are very good at hacking and I’m IT illiterate. Anyway if you could investigate all this I’m the person who told you about the millionaire in 1991. The thing is I never ever got paid and it all fell apart. So please if you could please investigate it speak to Jody Victor please! He can shed light more on it. Let Doug Steve know that I’m the person who had a Damascus conversion in jan 1994 and in march 2025 I died in my sleep and went to the gate of hell and Jesus pulled me out of hell! Let anyone know whom would like to know about it at the Corp yet definitely speak to Jody Victor my name is Steven Polacska. Let Jody know to keep shining the light, Have a listen to thelight.com.au 89.9 fm Melbournes positive alternative listen for awhile to get the idea of the station. I have been shining the light since 1994 jan and light fm was conceived in 2002 and still shining the light in Melbourne VICTORia Australia! There is hope there is a Heaven and I’ll be partying with the billions of people in Heaven for trillions and trillions and trillions of years certainly NOT hell or it’s completion the lake of fire. Thank you for posting your message and please let Doug and Steve know about my story. You are part of my journey I hope you will like Jody help shine the light and reestablish my business links. I’ve only scratched the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. And please donot give up until you get the true story because these Ukrainians have lied about me to stop my success with in the business! Thank you for listening Acts 22v6-10 John 3:16 The Bible WE WILL SEE OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN ♥️😊 keep The Faith Steven Polacska light777sp@yahoo.com.au 0481387210 ps remember all my correspondence has been blocked until now😊♥️ kind regards God speed SP say hi also to Kathy Steve Victor and Joey Victor

Special day for West Michigan Aviation Academy and the WMU Aviation…WMAA has signed a partnership with WMU that creates a direct pathway into one of the nation’s premier collegiate aviation programs.
There is a real need for exceptional talent in aviation. More than 2.2 million workers are part of the aviation industry with employees in every state. But nearly a quarter of that workforce is over the age of 55, and over the next 20 years, the world will need more than 600,000 new pilots.
Grateful for this partnership!

GREAT. My grandson has wanted to be a pilot since he was 3. He is planning on WMU when he graduates high school next year. I have never seen a kid never waver about his future. His mom is a WMU grad too. So happy about the partnership. By the way he had his private pilot license already. Grands are the best💗
Excellent. Love WMAA
Thank you! My son was in attendance and is so grateful for this partnership.
Great new partnership! Bravo!

Mr. DeVos, My name is David Ward. I'm the Captain of Unknown Lady =NAI (Sydney 41). I am having an issue with Chicago Yacht Club similar to yours with Windquest around 2012. I was hoping you could do me the favor of sharing the documents associated with that protest. They would be very helpful to me. I can be reached here, at DLWISME@AOL.COM, or 773-531-8037. Thank you for any help you can provide.
Congratulations
Congrats.

Good morning Dick Jim Janz here From hospital waiting for a TAVI Valve. Your Dad was my mentor and dear friend but I didn’t need to follow him with the heart issues. This one should take me distance. You guys always lead the way in civic matters, in changing the landscape of Grand Rapids and always putting people first with your generosity. I always like coming into GR at night and seeing those changes that have taken place. Your example is endless in all ways. Thank you and God bless Much love from our family to yours. Jim

CRAZY Flashback to summer of 1996 as we did the same for hard hat tours, suite and premium seat selection and so much for leading up to the opening of the Van Andel Arena! Grand Action 1.0

Your dad would have appreciated this. The support of the arts from your family must never decay from that of your mother and father… it’s what keeps that last name in the eyes of respect.
We appreciate you Mr. Dick DeVos
