LMA Minnesota Welcomes Mercedes Smith as New Vice-Chair

As the winter snow starts to melt into spring here in Minnesota, we have exciting news to share with you during this season of renewal.

Changes to the LMA-MN Leadership Team

In 2022, we celebrated several job updates within our Leadership Steering Committee (LSC). Our outgoing Vice-Chair Caitlin Balsimo, accepted a new position as Market Development Specialist at K&L Gates in Charleston, SC. While we’ll miss Caitlin as she moves to the southeast region, we’re excited to announce that Mercedes Smith will be our new Vice-Chair in Minnesota!
