In this role, Herrmann would perform the duties of the treasurer in the event Rhines is absent, ill or otherwise unable to fulfill the responsibilities of a treasurer.
“Scott Frush left big shoes to fill,” said treasurer Rhines. “I’m confident Mindy Herrmann is an excellent choice for this role. She has a long history of protecting public funds. She always has our residents, our taxpayers, top of mind when making any decision. Thank you, Mindy, for stepping up after Northville Township lost a longtime champion of the community.”
Herrmann has served on the board of trustees since 2008. She currently is on the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Planning Commission and is chair of the Pathways Committee.
She earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Naval Academy, then joined the Marine Corps, where she spent 28 years as an officer, retiring from service in 2016. She also graduated from a master’s level Marine Corps program called “Command and Staff,” a course dedicated to strategizing at the highest level. Currently, she is executive director of both the Eastern District of Michigan Federal Bar Association and the Federal Bar Association Eastern District of Michigan Chapter.
On her off time, she has a passion for physical fitness, enjoys pickleball and has called Northville Township home for 24 years. She is married to Fred, an attorney, whom she met at the Naval Academy. They have two adult daughters who graduated from Northville Public Schools, one who is currently the assistant cross-country running coach for Northville High School, her alma mater.
“It’s a privilege to give back to this wonderful community, where our family has thrived through the years,” Herrmann said. “I take my responsibility of helping oversee Northville Township’s public service delivery seriously and this new responsibility will benefit from my years of experience working on projects with complex goals and budgets. I’m looking forward to helping our residents in a new capacity.”
