She was also an active member of the Junior League, holding many board and committee positions. In her free time, Anne enjoys playing tennis, paddle and watching her kids, Ava and Max, play hockey. She and her husband, Mike, have a passion for travel and hope to continue to do that as much as possible. Anne has a huge heart and we are confident her energy and passion will serve Project 2 well.

o We are excited to welcome Sandra Ali, an award-winning anchor and reporter who has made several regular network appearances on the Fox News channel, CNN, and CNN Headline News. Sandra won the Associated Press award for Best Hard News Reporter in 2002, as well as Michigan's Association of Broadcasters' award for Best Breaking News Reporter in 2003. She also landed major interviews at the time with then Secretary of State Colin Powell, the Queen of Jordan and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, all while in Detroit. She has four young children who keep her on her toes. You can usually find her running them around to practices and games, or volunteering at school. When she’s not with her little ones, Sandra also likes to stay active. She likes working out, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends. Sandra’s kind heart, extensive network, and professionalism is going to boost Project 2 to the next level.
o Also joining the team, Matt Fedor, an attorney at Foster Swift. Matt focuses his practice on helping individuals and families in estate planning, business law, probate, trust and estate administration, elder law guardianships and conservatorships, and litigation in these areas. This combination of practice areas allows him to counsel clients on wealth strategies for their business and personal assets as well as create various limited liability companies and ancillary trusts for this purpose. Matt has a unique perspective due to his experience in representing both families and business owners and is able to counsel clients regarding protecting their assets and planning for the transfer of those assets to the next generation. Matt has served in various capacities on behalf of clients including corporate officer, trustee, and general legal counsel, and is able to bring this perspective in counseling clients to achieve their goals. There is no doubt Matt’s extensive law background and big heart will positively impact the Project 2 community.
