Escanaba Township (Delta Co.) Treasurer Kim Knauf Wyckoff has been appointed to the Michigan Townships Association (MTA) Board of Directors, as director of MTA District 3, which encompasses Alger, Delta and Menominee Counties. Serving Michigan’s 1,240 townships, MTA is the largest municipal association in the state and one of the largest in the nation.
Knauf Wyckoff is serving her second term as treasurer, and got her start in township government when she was first elected to the role in 2020. In addition to helping guide the association representing all townships in the state, Knauf Wyckoff also hopes her new role on the MTA Board will positively impact her area in the Upper Peninsula. She says that, “Making sure the residents are well represented, and maintaining our quality and way of life in the U.P.” are among her goals as a district director. Joining the MTA Board will “allow her to be involved with decisions being made that would have an impact on our district,” she said.
Township government isn’t the only local government Knauf Wyckoff has served—she was previously a magistrate for Delta County District Court. In addition, she is a small business owner and has operated an outdoor woodstove dealership and welding business since 1998.
Knauf Wyckoff is very involved supporting area veterans, and has been vice president of the U.P. Honor Flight for more than a decade. The Honor Flight Network transports veterans to Washington, D.C. to allow them to visit and reflect at the national memorials honoring their military service.
