Retired FBI Agent and Author Greg Stejskal to Speak at The Washtenaw 100’s Annual Dinner
ANN ARBOR – Interested in hearing some of Michigan’s most gripping true-crime tales from the past 50 years? Then don’t miss The Washtenaw 100’s annual fundraising dinner, open to the paying public, on Thursday, October 20.
This regional nonprofit charitable organization, founded in 1971, supports the county’s law enforcement officers and firefighters, their families, and their departments.
Retired FBI agent and author Greg Stejskal, who lives in Ann Arbor, will be the dinner’s guest speaker. Stejskal’s 2021 book FBI Case Files Michigan: Tales of a G-Man vividly tells of notable cases he investigated during his nearly 32 years as a Special Agent in the FBI’s Detroit Division. Attendees can expect Stejskal to share some of his most challenging and exciting FBI experiences in his talk at The Washtenaw 100’s dinner. He will tell of the courage of those that uphold the mission of the FBI to “protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States.”
Says Stejskal, “Whether it’s the Bureau or local law enforcement and fire fighters, we’re all looking to help protect and foster a safe and healthy environment. As we work together as a community, we can continue to secure that.”

About The Washtenaw 100
In September 1971, a small group of Ann Arbor-area community leaders formed The Washtenaw 100, a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to the families of police officers and firefighters killed in the line of duty.
Over the years, The Washtenaw 100 has expanded its mission to also include: college scholarships for children of police and firefighting professionals; grants to police and fire departments for needed safety equipment and training; and annual awards to the county’s most distinguished law enforcement officers and firefighters.
Originally, The Washtenaw 100 operated anonymously. Membership was by private invitation only, and was limited to approximately 100 members (hence the name). For many years, the organization sought no public recognition for its efforts.
Today, The Washtenaw 100 invites all in the community to join. Members’ annual fees and individual donations enable the organization to continue supporting our area’s sworn uniformed officers and their families, who give bravely and selflessly for the safety and security of the community.
In the past five decades, The Washtenaw 100 has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars in needed assistance to the area’s public safety officers and their departments.
The Washtenaw 100 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization exempt from federal tax. Members’ annual fees and donations may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
