On Monday, July 11, Oakland County Commissioner Marcia Gershenson will walk the halls of Harvard University, as a member of a select group of elected officials participating in the prestigious Taubman Fellows program. She will join senior executives in state and local government from across the nation.

She continues to seek solutions for sharing essential services among communities within Oakland County. Gershenson is the first female commissioner from Oakland County's Board to be selected as a Taubman Fellow and is one of only a two former Oakland County commissioners to be selected for this distinguished honor. "Marcia Gershenson is a dedicated commissioner who continues to work in the best interest of Oakland County and her constituents. I am pleased about her selection," stated Oakland County Board Chairman Michael J. Gingell. "I am really excited about this opportunity and I look forward to bringing new strategies back to Oakland County," stated Gershenson.
