MARQUETTE, MI-- Governor Gretchen Whitmer has named a Baraga woman to the Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees.

A Chicago native, Summers moved to the Upper Peninsula with her husband. Her community involvement has also included the Baraga County Economic Development Corporation and Sacred Heart School Council.
She holds a bachelor’s degree from National Louis University.
