Mrs. Maureen Lee-Archer

Mrs. Maureen Archer is a native Jamaican who resides with her spouse and children in the outskirts of the city limits of Detroit, Michigan.  Mrs. Archer graduated with dual majors in Economics and Business Administration, and has spent the last 15 years in the pursuit of various entrepreneurial goals. An avid entrepreneur, she has started several successful businesses and now oversees two multinational and multicultural corporations. As the co-founder of Ivory Consulting, Inc, Mrs. Archer brought her expertise in building successful businesses to the Ivory team and worked to take the company from a start-up to an established Information Technology Solutions firm.  She currently serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Community Training Center a non-profit IT community training center with its primary function to provide practical training and technical assistance services to the disadvantaged within the city of Detroit.

Mrs. Archer is an active Bible-believing Christian. She worships with her family in Detroit, Michigan. The idea of YOOLFest originally came to her in the Summer of 2005. It was just a thought, but it was a desire that came from The Spirit of God, one she would not let go. Her vision of ministering with her children by her side was a deep desire and soon it would start to become a realigy: God would reveal His same desire to someone else -- in the person of Melbourne Bennett, who then confirmed this revelation to Mrs. Archer that was revealed to her was indeed bestowed upon her by God, one year earlier.

Melbourne Bennett

Director Bennett is native Jamaican. He was born in Linstead, St. Catherine and attended St. Jago High School in Spanish Town before immigrating to Detroit, Michigan with his sister and parents. After completing High School in Detroit, Michigan he was off to serve in the US Army, where he served several years. With dedication and hard work during military off-hours, Melbourne earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering – which would help to cover and ultimately usher him into the work of the Kingdom of God 17 years later. He was working within the Electrical Engineering Design team at one of the Big Three automotive corporations in Detroit, Michigan when God hand-picked him for a task that is vastly above his natural abilities – that task is YOOL Fest.

He is a man of faith, a gifted writer, entrepreneur and annointed kKingdom-minded person who takes pride in doing what-so-ever God bids him do. He enjoys music, writing and reading in his spare time. Currently, in addition to the demands of YOOLFest, he is hard at work on his covenant-with-God; creating wealth (and aiding others in their business ventures) in the form of new businesses, inventions and other assets, which aid in the building of the Kingdom of The Lord Jesus Christ. He works in cohesiveness with his director/partner and the YOOL Fest team on the YOOL Fest ministry and celebration event.
