The Leaders Next Door

This is an incomplete history of leaders and organizations in the Holland-Zeeland area. Much of what is here has been shown in The Holland Sentinel in the Money section in the Sunday edition in a column called "The Business Next Door" between August, 2004 and May, 2008. Additions to this history appear in the Sunday edition of The Holland Sentinel in the Money section in a column called "The Leader Next Door." See www.hollandsentinel.com. Please send comments on this history to vanderveen@hope.edu. Your feedback and suggestions are sincerely appreciated.

A special note of thanks goes to the students who helped me on this project and the Holland Chamber of Commerce and the Frost Center for Social Science Research for giving me the ability to pay students for their time working on this project.
