DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 40 AAA Michigan vice presidents, district managers, and directors shed those titles today for that of crew member when they joined the Downtown Detroit Partnership's Clean Downtown project to help put finishing touches on the city in time for the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, scheduled over Labor Day weekend. Members of AAA's executive leadership team started their "day of service" by sprucing up Mt. Elliott and Gabriel Richard parks -- picking up trash and doing touch-up painting. Following lunch and a presentation by Ann Lang, President & CEO of Downtown Detroit Partnership, the group moved on to the waterfront to empty trash containers and wipe down and shine all of the railings and public seating along the three-mile long RiverWalk. "It's important for us to step out from behind our desks and computers and remember we can, and should, also work as a team in our communities as well as in the workplace," said Steve Wagner, President and COO of AAA Michigan and The Auto Club Group Field Operations. "We're proud of our history of volunteer service at AAA, and this is just one more way to demonstrate that commitment. We want to stress this and other core corporate values in the communities where our employees and members live and work." AAA is the volunteer sponsor for the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix and more than 125 AAA Michigan employees will volunteer as courtesy shuttle workers during Grand Prix weekend.
