Mike McCormack, MEMA’s board chairman states, “We are excited to bring Charlie back home to Maine to join the MEMA team. It’s paramount that we effectively communicate to Maine consumers and Energy Policy influencers that our products and services have been, and will continue to be, integral to the overall Northern New England energy space. Charlie is the right guy to make that happen. His passion for education will also support our goal of growing the MTEC Education Center.”
