Brigadier General Carol Ann Fausone (ret.) got involved in the Livonia Public Schools “Inventor’s Contest” – one of the largest partnerships between local businesses and the schools yet. Fausone spoke with contest organizer Chuck Dardas, firing up middle school students for the month-long contest.
Chuck Dardas, president of Alpha USA manufacturing facility in Livonia, invited Carol Ann Fausone, who is a retired Michigan National Guard General and currently serves as a constituent advocate in Congressman Dave Trott’s office.
She said she was encouraged to see a number of young women in the crowd and that the pillars of the contest mirror those of Representative Trott’s philosophy.
“This contest is all about problem solving and getting creative,” she said. “Go out there and do your best! I can’t wait for five weeks to go by and see what you produce.”
Fausone also continues to help veterans with their health care benefits, job placement, and mentoring aspiring students looking to get into the armed forces. She was encouraged to see so many middle schoolers geting involved in the contest, as she knows from experience helping to place veterans in jobs that these types of skills are what employers are looking for.
