From mlive.com:
Michigan’s outgoing Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land will return to her Kent County roots next year by joining the board that governs policy at Gerald R. Ford International Airport.
Kent County Commissioners are expected to officially appoint Land to the board in January. She will serve as the citizen replacement for outgoing 76-year-old Chairman John Van Laar, who has held the spot for 15 years and been on the board for 35.
Land said she was attracted to the position because of her interest in improving customer service at airports, like she has as Secretary of State branches. She also said the security issues at airports fit well with her background and experience in creating enhanced drivers license and personal identification cards that let people re-enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and 17 Caribbean nations in compliance with stricter government regulations for land and sea border crossing
