Why are you involved with the MMLA...what does it mean to you? My
organization has a long history with the MMLA, and everything I heard when
I started at Trott & Trott was that the MMLA is a great group of people who
do great things. I definitely wanted to be a part of the group, and I am honored to be a new board
member. My appreciation to Joanne for taking this relative outsider, who had spent over a decade in
healthcare, under her wing and meeting with me early on. She is a gem!
Why you think others should become an MMLA member? I think the networking opportunities are
exceptional, but, even more important, the caliber of people I have met is just incredible. You would be
hard-pressed to find a better group of professionals in our industry in Michigan. And they are fun too!
