In this episode, we get a window into the world of Melissa DeSimone, the executive director of the Michigan Lakes and Streams Association. MLSA is a non-profit, state-wide organization dedicated to the preservation, protection and wise management of Michigan’s vast treasure of inland lakes and streams. They achieve their mission by supporting riparian associations as well as the collective and individual educational, stewardship and conservation initiatives of their members which include lake associations, concerned citizens, commercial and non-profit businesses as well as our public and private collaborative partners. Melissa shares the journey of how she found this work, and how the organization empowers Michigan residents to take the health of our inland lakes and streams into their own hands. /// State of Water is a program of the Michigan-based non-profit organization Title Track, and is powered by the Clean Water Campaign for Michigan.
