WARREN, Mich. - Public service is nothing new for Andrey Duzyj. As an active community leader and city of Warren resident for 35 years, Mr. Duzyj is on the campaign trail for a seat on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners. Situated in southern Macomb County, Warren is Michigan's third largest city.

Mr. Duzyj's extensive background of service, both in current and past positions, have included chairman, vice-chairman and secretary of the Warren Planning Commission, member of the Tax Increment Finance Authority Board of Directors for the City of Warren, member of the Michigan Society of Planning Officials representing the City of Warren, and member and guide of the Michigan-based Blind Skiers Association.

Warren is home to many Ukrainian Americans. Mr. Duzyj currently serves as president of the Board of Directors of the Ukrainian Future Credit Union, and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Ukrainian Cultural Center, both based in Warren. Mr. Duzyj is married to Doris (née Nachwostach). Both are members of St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Church. The couple has three children, Christina, Mykola, and Melanie.
