John Engler appointed Power to the Executive Committee of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), where he is currently the vice chair of the MEDC and chair of the finance subcommittee.
Power also is a director of SenSyTech Technologies, Inc., and is the vice chair of the Michigan chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
