We are thrilled to WELCOME BACK Meghan Behymer, Kalamazoo Downtown Partnership’s Office Coordinator.  Meghan and her husband, Josh, welcomed their second child, daughter Eleanor Lynn, in January.  Eleanor was Bronson Healthcare’s official New Year Baby! 

A special THANK YOU to Maryann Flynn for helping during Meghan’s absence.  Maryann  was a welcome addition to the team and brought with enthusiasm and professionalism to her role every day.
