Michigan Lakes and Streams Association: Board and Staff
Michigan Lakes and Streams Association is interested in receiving your comments or general questions regarding our organization, our freshwater resources, and this website. However, please be mindful of the fact that we would be unable to do anything for riparians and our Michigan waterways without the support of our members.
The board and staff listed below are all dedicated to providing support to our association, individual and corporate members – we do not possess the necessary resources to provide substantive support to non‐members. Before requesting formative assistance from our organization, please consider partnering with Michigan Lakes and Streams Association as a member.
