Governor Jennifer Granholm has appointed three new mem­bers to the Ferris Board of Trustees.

The mem­bers who have been appointed are Dr. D. William Lakin of Clinton Township, Edward L. Haynor of Newaygo and Larry L. Leatherwood of Lansing.

The announce­ment was made on March 25. All three mem­bers are tak­ing the seats of board mem­bers who plan to retire. Lakin will suc­ceed Patrick LaCline, Haynor will suc­ceed James Haverman, and Leatherwood will suc­ceed R. Thomas Cook.

The seats for Haynor and Leatherwood will open at the first of the year. The appoint­ments will take 60 days to take affect unless rejected by the state sen­ate, accord­ing to a mem­o­ran­dum from President Eisler.

Lakin’s father Bill Lake was a mem­ber of Ferris’ optom­e­try fac­ulty. Lakin is also President of Family Eye Care Associates and has served on the board of direc­tors as the Michigan Optometrist of the Year for the MOA (Michigan Optometry Association). He also cur­rently serves on the State Board of Examiners in optometry.
