The Landis Agency
Brilliant Connector
Kate Landis has called West Michigan home for 15 years. She believes that being present is the key to helping people, businesses and organizations achieve success. She has volunteered with numerous West Michigan organizations, most recently with the Professional Women in Building Council. As a board member, she led a team of women who shared a passion for helping members grow professionally. Together, they created a two-year plan with over 15 professional development and continuing education opportunities. Those opportunities connected women in the construction industry to other professionals with unique skills, ultimately helping members reach their professional goals. Kate is also a board member for the Empowerment Institute, where she hopes to help connect the BIPOC non-profit community to people, tools and resources that will create sustainable change in West Michigan. Kate says, “[Connection] is more than just sending an email or a text with another person's contact information; it is about [providing] introductions that will help others achieve success and accomplish their goals.”

A few years ago, a friend told me how grateful she was for her siblings during their father’s long illness. As they cared for him, they leaned on one another, sharing the load and responsibilities. After he passed away, they made sure their mom felt supported in the months and years that followed.
