Board of Directors

In collaboration with Midland and Gladwin counties, a group of volunteers came together to form FLTF. The current volunteer board of directors is made of nominated representatives from each lake association and two commissioners, one from Gladwin and Midland counties. The Lake Associations will nominate and approve future members. Lake association members serve up to two, 3-year terms. County commissioners serve at the county's desire.​
