Manufacturers Association executive director to retire
By Jessica Hall
After 23 years, Lisa Martin is retiring as executive director of the Manufacturers Association of Maine, a nonprofit trade group with more than 250 members.
The association provides business development help, legislative advocacy, networking services and career connections for the state’s manufacturing industry. Since Martin joined the association in 1999, a news release said, MAME has created multiple programs to help develop business for members including Business and Employee Growth Services, the MAME Hall of Fame, and the Annual Manufacturing Summit.
“With almost 1,400 Maine manufacturers employing more than 56,000 workers, manufacturing is the backbone of the Maine economy,” Martin said. “I’m proud of our accomplishments to advance the state’s manufacturing industry and have loved every minute of my role, especially meeting with companies to learn about their products, challenges, and issues."
The organization credited Martin as a strong advocate for the business community, creating partnerships with business associations, schools, community organizations and any entity that could further the cause of the manufacturing sector.
“Lisa worked tirelessly as the voice of manufacturing,” said Judith Borelli, director of government affairs at Texas Instruments and chair of the MAME board of directors. “Her passion and experience will be missed by everyone at MAME and the entire manufacturing community.”
Martin served on many boards and state task force groups. When she steps down as executive director this spring, she plans to spend time in her gardens and with her family.
A national search is being conducted to find Martin's successor.
