MI-TRALE held their Annual Meeting and Board Elections on Monday, January 12th, 2026. They were held in the Stannard Township Hall, 14927 State HWY M-28 East, Bruce Crossing, MI, 49912 beginning at 7:00pm Eastern.
Our current Vice President, Jon Fourez was re-elected to his same position as was our Treasurer Dave Bishop. One of the three Directorships, that were open for election, was currently held by Chris Palmer. He was re-elected to that position. So he, Vice President Fourez and Treasurer Bishop will continue in their respective roles for the coming two years. They have all done excellent work for MI-TRALE in their past years of service and we are looking forward to working with them through their next term.
The other two Director seats were filled by new persons to the Board. Chris Kooyers, originally from Holland, Michigan who now lives in Sidnaw with his wife Cindi and Adam Gingery who is the CFO at Trierweiler Construction in Marshfield, Wisconsin, where he lives with his wife and two children. He also has a second home in Land O’ Lakes, Wisconsin with quick access to all of MI-TRALEs trails. Their terms of office are also for the next two years. MI-TRALE enthusiastically welcomes them as new Directors to the Board. Both of their work experiences will be a valuable asset to MI-TRALE and we look forward to working with them as members of our Board.
