Henry Center for Executive Development.  She is gratified that philanthropist Eli Broad and his wife, Edythe, contributed 26 million for the new art center, that will be designed by internationally renowned, London architect Zaha Hadid.

Excerpts from her article on the late Lorraine Beebe, the third women to sit in the Michigan House of Representatives, are quoted in the book Off the Record, by author, senior capitol correspondent, and host of a political interview program by the same name, Tim Skubick.  The book chronicles thirty years of Michigan politics and was named a 2004 Notable Michigan Book.

Lynne began her career after living in London, Copenhagen, and Manhattan, and traveling throughout Europe and limited travel in the Middle East.  She then returned to Michigan to be near her family.  She attended the New School for Social Research in New York City to study film, and later earned her B.A. from Michigan State University.
