Adam DesJardins joined the CultureSource team in 2019 with years of experience in, and passion for, arts and cultural programming. He currently serves as Resource Services Manager, helping to coordinate and administer 10 regranting programs to arts organizations and artists in the seven county region. Hailing from Ann Arbor and living in Detroit, Adam has worked for numerous arts organizations including the Ann Arbor Summer Festival, Detroit Puppet Company, the Detroit Jazz Festival, UMS, and VSA/Accessibility at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Adam is a 2021-2022 Michigan Arts and Culture Council Rising Leader, a 2019-2020 National Arts Strategies Creative Community Fellow, and has a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Michigan.

With over 20 years of experience providing operational strategy to the national fundraising consulting firm she co-founded, Richner + Richner, Mori joined the CultureSource team in late 2022, aiming to consistently improve the inner workings of the organization. She has significant nonprofit experience, working for groups such as the Arts Alliance (now Creative Washtenaw), Blackbird Theater, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. She has also served in volunteer leadership roles with a wide variety of arts and educational nonprofits. She brings demonstrated success in organizational oversight, program and budget management, the creation and implementation of systems and processes, consensus building, and volunteer management.
Mori lives in Ann Arbor with her husband, Cedric, and has two grown daughters. An avid reader, actor, singer, and dabbler in drawing, painting, and crochet, Mori is a firm believer that the arts are arguably the most important part of our collective humanity.

Omari earned degrees in music from the University of Michigan and Florida State University, and extended his love for learning by completing fellowships with the Salzburg Global Forum and Association of Performing Arts Professionals, by managing the K-12 education program of the University Musical Society (UMS), and by serving on research advisory committees for the National Endowment for the Arts and Indiana University O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
A lapsed clarinetist, Omari now uses his voice to co-host a monthly arts-focused radio show on NPR affiliate WEMU-FM, and he plays on a Rivendell Clem-L bicycle, which he rides daily on streets and trails.
