Remembering a Friend

Christian Wuerth | MME President


In late September, we lost our colleague and friend, MME President Chris Burns. Like a lot of you, I am still stunned by the news of Chris’ passing. Far too soon and far too young. I am heartbroken for her family, friends, and her coworkers in Spring Lake – both the Village and the Township – and continue to keep them in my prayers. Chris will be missed immensely by a lot of people – in large part because of the positive impact she had on so many of our lives. Read more

Experience Committe

Al Vanderberg | Chair, Experience Committee


The Experience Committee has been hard at work on several initiatives.  We are close to rolling out a fillable template for MME members to enter biographical and other information that will be available in a directory on the MME website.  This will help us know each other better and provide a resource including contact information for those comfortable with sharing it. Read more.
