"Working with these CEOs has been like skiing a black diamond. It has been an exhilarating and rewarding adventure."
Among her post-retirement plans are to devote time to the Detroit Cristo Rey High School and working with not-for-profit groups on upcoming projects.

In addition to her Vistage activities, Stanbridge is an organization development consultant and president of CHANGE Human Resource Development, a consulting and training firm.
