The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce has a new executive director. Michelle Dugan, who served in the same capacity for the Monroe chamber, is the new executive director.
Dugan attended Wednesday's meeting of the Saline Coalition for Quality Community.
Dugan was hired in the wake of the resignation of Lynn Thomas Perry.
The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce serves businesses in the City of Saline and townships of Saline, Lodi, York and Pittsfield.
The chamber recently moved its offices to 100 E. Michigan Ave., in the space below Mac's Acadian Seafood Shack.

Moderate rain, with a high of 50 and low of 20 degrees. Overcast during the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon and evening, patchy rain nearby overnight.
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
