Wow!  2020 is gone, and it was uniquely dramatic for every one of us.  The disruptions in our lives ranged from inconvenience to upheaval to loss of loved ones.  Within the MLC, we had to shift our emphasis to online interactions, which have their own advantages, however the high value of live events with great networking, which I know you all value the most, had to be put on hold.

As a new beginning, I want you to enjoy this year in your life with a new MLC experience.  As we progress through 2021 with the eventual taming of COVID through vaccinations, the light at the end of the tunnel brightens.  You have much to look forward to from the MLC in 2021, including:

• A planned live August Annual Conference in Traverse City
  
• Sponsored Lean training from the Sergent Results Group and the Northern Michigan MMTC as part of our new Resource Network
• Energetic new Board members who are dedicated to bringing new value to you.
  

I now have been the MLC President for 2 ½ years, and as it has been an enriching experience.  However, I find myself wanting to explore other avenues in my life.  So, effective January 31, 2021, I respectfully resign my position with the MLC.  I wish each one of you continued success in life.

Best Regards,

Al Woodliff
