MUCC Announces Leadership Transition 

After a long and fruitful career with MUCC, Amy Trotter is no longer serving in her role as Chief Executive Officer of the organization. A pillar of conservation advocacy, her work to conserve, protect, and enhance Michigan's natural resources and outdoor heritage will impact generations. 


The MUCC Executive Board has appointed Mike Mitchell as acting CEO. Mike’s extensive background in lean manufacturing and strengthening teams in corporate and volunteer work will be greatly valued during this time of change. Mike brings a wealth of experience guiding teams through transition, and his skills and passion for conservation will guide MUCC through this time of change. 


The search for MUCC’s next CEO has begun and more details will be released later this year. 


MUCC is focused and committed to ensuring your voice continues to be heard in Lansing. With your support, we will continue to advance the conservation values that have guided us for over 87 years. 


In the meantime, the organization’s mission remains unchanged: to unite citizens to conserve, protect, and enhance Michigan’s natural resources and outdoor heritage.
