The Factory Floor Newsletter - August

Factory Two is pleased to announce that Maiya LeGardye has been selected as Interim Executive Director, effective July 1, 2026.

Maiya brings deep familiarity with our organization and community. She has served as General Manager of Flint Local 432, where she built strong relationships with our members, volunteers, and program partners. Her experience leading day-to-day operations at Local 432 gives her a strong foundation for this next chapter.

This appointment follows a structured search process led by Factory Two's Board of Directors, which included input from staff, board members, and community advisors. The Board is confident that Maiya's leadership will bring continuity and stability to the makerspace and Flint Local 432 during this transition period.

In her new role, Maiya will focus on strengthening financial oversight, building our fundraising pipeline, supporting staff, maintaining strong communication with the Board, and ensuring our programs continue without disruption. The Board will work closely with her throughout this period, with a formal review of her transition to permanent Executive Director planned by the end of the year.

Factory Two remains committed to its mission of providing accessible makerspace resources and a substance-free, youth-centered performing arts venue for our community. We are excited for this next chapter and grateful for the continued support of our members, volunteers, instructors, and community partners.
