“Our TAMC Board is an engaged group of business, community, and healthcare leaders, who bring a varied and diverse set of skills and experience in support of our governance and fiduciary responsibilities to the TAMC organization,” said Steven St. Pierre, chair of TAMC’s Board of Trustees.  Towle and Violette will add to that skill and experience.
