Neil Sroka has spent much of his life working in politics, communications, and public service, driven by a fascination with how people and ideas can change the world for the better.

Today, Neil serves as a Communications Officer at the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, where he works closely with President and CEO La June Montgomery Tabron and the foundation's leadership to shape conversations about children, families, communities, and the role of philanthropy. Among the highlights of his work has been collaborating with La June on her two books, How We Heal and Our Differences Make Us Stronger, both published in January 2025.

Before joining the foundation, Neil held communications leadership roles at Paid Leave for the US (PL+US), Democracy for America, and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, working on national campaigns to advance paid family and medical leave, strengthen civic participation, and give more people a voice in decisions that affect their lives.

Earlier in his career, Neil worked on Barack Obama's historic 2008 presidential campaign and later served in his administration as Director of New Media at the U.S. Department of Commerce. At Commerce, he led the development of the first departmental social media policy in the federal government, enabling the use of platforms like YouTube and Twitter to communicate directly with the public and establishing a model for other federal agencies.

Closer to home, Neil has served on the Grosse Pointe Farms City Council since 2019 and currently serves as Mayor Pro Tem. He is also a past president of the Rotary Club of Grosse Pointe and remains active in local civic and community organizations. His approach to public service emphasizes listening, finding common ground, and remembering that even when people disagree, they're still neighbors.

A graduate of George Washington University who also studied at Pembroke College, Oxford, Neil moved from Washington to Grosse Pointe in 2015 with his wife, Christine. Today, they're raising their daughter, Frances, in the community they call home.
