 Dear Michigan Federationists:

 Steve Arwood, director of the state agency that regulates
 business, is
 following in his predecessor's footsteps and leaving to
 become chief
 operating officer of the Michigan Economic Development
 Corporation
 (MEDC). Arwood is the second director of the Michigan
 Department of
 Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) since Gov. Rick
 Snyder took
 office in 2011. The first, Steve Hilfinger, moved into
 MEDC's COO
 position in 2012. He returned to the private sector in June
 with the
 law firm Foley & Lardner LLP, according to an article in
 Crain's
 Detroit Business. LARA chief deputy Mike Zimmer will act as
 director
 of the department, effective immediately. "Steve's track
 record of
 accomplishment and knowledge of our state's business climate
 has been
 instrumental at LARA and will make him a vital addition to
 the MEDC
 team working to spur even more and better jobs for
 Michiganders and
 business development, talent and entrepreneurship
 initiatives," Snyder
 said. "Mike Zimmer is a dedicated, adept leader at LARA, and
 I
 appreciate his willingness and commitment to take on this
 new and key
 role. Arwood brings extensive experience to the job, said
 Mike Finney,
 president and CEO of the MEDC. "His experience in energy
 development,
 the Jobs Commission and the National Federation of
 Independent
 Business combined with his recent time at LARA makes him a
 great fit
 as we accelerate our focus on business expansion efforts,"
 Finney
 said. Emily Lawler is a Capital/Lansing business reporter
