NEWFIELD TOWNSHIP — Newfield Township Supervisor Joan David has been re-elected to the Michigan Townships Association Board of Directors, serving as director of MTA District 11, which encompasses Lake, Mason and Oceana counties.
David was re-elected to the position by her township peers at a caucus election at MTA’s 2025 Annual Educational Conference earlier this month in Grand Rapids. Serving Michigan’s 1,240 townships, MTA is the largest municipal association in the state and one of the largest in the nation.
Prior to her election as supervisor in 2016, David served as township trustee for eight years. She has been on the township fire board since 2008; cemetery committee since 2012; and has served as secretary of the Oceana County MTA Chapter for four years. Active in Hesperia Community Schools, she was a member of the parent-teacher association for six years and in Positive Behavior in Schools (PBIS) for 20 years from 2000-2020.
“Collaboration and cooperation among her fellow local leaders who share a similar vision — and seeing the improvements and opportunities it has brought to her township — are among the most rewarding experiences of serving in local government for David,” states an MTA press release. “She will continue to bring that vision to her leadership role in the association.”
“I feel very blessed to have spent the last 17 years working with and for my township, and to see the growth in our community and see so many residents working together as a team,” David said. “I also enjoy being part of our local MTA chapter and serving on the MTA board. I am thrilled to be part of a group that does so many amazing things.”
