“I’m pleased to have Steve join our board and bring his thought leadership and experience with him,” said Robert Kamphuis, chairman, president and chief executive officer of MEC. “Steve has extraordinary business and financial expertise. I look forward to having him share his strategic guidance and leadership on our board.”
