Huntington Bank Chair Gary Torgow has been elected chair of Business Leaders for Michigan, the group announced Wednesday.
He will succeed Howard Ungerleider, president and chief financial officer of Midland-based Dow Inc., in January. Ungerleider is set to leave Dow at the end of the year, the company announced in October.
Business Leaders for Michigan is a business roundtable that includes the heads of the state’s largest companies and universities. It is focused on making Michigan a top 10 state economically.
“Gary demonstrates every day what it means to be a champion for our state and its people. His work to bring people together and find common ground will continue to help Michigan become a stronger and more competitive state where everyone can succeed,” Jeff Donofrio, the group’s president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.
