On behalf of the Michigan Chemistry Council’s board, we wanted to update you about the MCC’s evolution in 2023. This week, we are delighted to announce our new MCC Executive Director, Sara Cambensy. Sara most recently served in the Michigan House of Representatives, representing the Marquette area through the end of 2022. Prior to her election to the state legislature, she served on the Marquette City Commission, Marquette Planning Commission, and as the director of adult and continuing education for Marquette Community Schools, in addition to other roles. Sara was a recognized legislative leader with a record of working across the aisle to advance good policy and represent her constituents.

In a list of 2023 policy priorities announced today by the Michigan Chemistry Council (MCC), the industry called for action to promote Michigan’s manufacturing competitiveness and to ensure effective regulation.

“The business of chemistry is dedicated to providing solutions to our world and advocates for making Michigan a stronger, safer, and more sustainable place to do business,” said MCC Executive Director John Dulmes. “As the legislative session begins in a new political environment, there are numerous bipartisan opportunities to promote these policies, and we will be actively engaged in the legislative and regulatory arenas to get things done.”
