Stern has more than 25 years of experience in management, corporate governance and mergers and acquisitions. He has worked at A.O. Smith since 2007 and before that was a partner in the transactional and securities practice group at Foley & Lardner LLP in Milwaukee.

He will serve in the director role until the annual meeting of shareholders on April 28, 2017 and receive compensation similar to Badger Meter’s other non-employee directors.
