Teaching Our History

The CCF welcomed participants from Leadership Macomb’s Class XXVIII on March 25. Leadership Macomb’s Core Leadership program offers an immersive experience for professionals to strengthen their understanding of Macomb County’s systems, challenges and opportunities. As part of Leadership Macomb’s Arts & Cultures Day, participants explored the rich history and contributions of the Chaldean community in metro Detroit.

The presentation, led by Stacy Bahri, Strategic Initiatives Manager at the CCF, provided an overview of the Chaldean community’s journey, culture, and impact in southeast Michigan.

Guests were treated to Chaldean cuisine from Zarzoor Restaurant and enjoyed a performance from Raad Hakeem, immersing themselves in the traditions that make the Chaldean community a vital part of the region’s cultural fabric.
