Michael Kenig: From Corporate Leadership to Community Service

After 35 years at Holder Construction Company, where he retired as Vice Chairman, Michael Kenig hasn't slowed down a bit. A self-described "professional meeting attendee" during his corporate career, Michael has channeled that same energy into community service and civic engagement in his retirement.

Though familiar with Rotary through Tommy Holder, the former CEO of Holder Construction and past president of the Rotary Club of Atlanta, Michael discovered our club through a fortuitous conversation with Paula Shiver at a Perimeter Chamber event, with Tina Philpot providing additional insights. The club's diverse speakers, social connections, and community focus resonated with his values. Since joining last October, Michael has become an integral part of our club's operations. From helping with early morning room setup to managing our booth at the Arts Festival and coordinating our presence at Dunwoody Oktoberfest, his commitment to service is evident in everything he does.

Beyond our club, Michael dedicates his time to organizations promoting civic engagement and reducing national polarization, including the Rotarian Action Group for Peace. He shares his passion for community service with his wife, Marcie Louza, founder of The Sandwich Project, which delivers 8,000-10,000 sandwiches weekly to combat food insecurity across metro Atlanta.

Michael's transition from corporate leadership to community service exemplifies how professional expertise can be channeled into meaningful local impact.
