Economic Recovery Office
Governor Granholm established the Economic Recovery Office in 2009 to handle the administration and promotion of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and to serve as a liaison to state departments. The Economic Recovery Office series documents the state's use of federal grant funding from ARRA and public relations efforts on behalf of ARRA programs. The series consists of three subseries: Administrative Staff (Jann Jencka, John Sorbet, Caron Fenning, and Beth Bingham); Communications Staff (Vicki Levengood and Elisabeth Hasbany); and General Office Records.
Administrative Staff (Jann Jencka, John Sorbet, Caron Fenning, and Beth Bingham)
The Administrative Staff files document programs supported by ARRA funding and were compiled by Beth Bingham (office director), Jann Jencka (education advisor) John Sorbet, and Caron Fenning. They also contain correspondence with the heads of state departments and agencies.
Communications Staff (Vicki Levengood and Elisabeth Hasbany)
The Communications Staff records were compiled by Vicki Levengood (Communications Director) and Elisabeth Hasbany (Website and Social Media Coordinator) handled public relations for the Economic Recovery Office. Their files consist of audio-visual materials, press releases, news clippings, and reports from counties and grant recipients.
