Shannon was pleased to accept the role stating, "I met my wife while working at Bay City State Park and we are thrilled to come back to the Bay Area community. I look forward to joining the McLaren Bay Medical Foundation and working with the board and staff to build a strong development program that will ultimately impact the Bay Region patients and families."

With a vast record of community involvement, some of Shannon’s contributions include chairing the administrative committee of the Mid-Michigan Charitable Foundation, leading the Rotary Club of St. Johns as president in 2012-2013 and serving on the Board for five years. He has also volunteered with organizations including the Greater Lansing Food Bank, Clinton County Food Distribution, Capital Area United Way and more.
