“NIRPC wishes to thank Highland Clerk-Treasurer Michael Griffin for his service as chairperson during 2017,” NIRPC said. “During his time as Chairperson, the agency developed and adopted its 2018-2021 Transportation Improvement Program and continued to implement its new committee structure. Additionally, he convened a task force on developing by-laws for the Commission and NIRPC's various committees in order to provide clearer structure for their function.”

Griffin will continue to serve NIRPC as the commissioner representing the Town of Highland as well as the Commission's immediate past chair.
