Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative (MLMC) voted Tuesday to have Marianne LaCroix serve as its interim executive director.

At their meeting on Tuesday the board unanimously approved LaCroix for the role.

"Marianne’s expertise has been invaluable as the MLMC has worked to tell the story of Maine Lobster,” said Frank Gotwals, MLMC board chairman and fisherman based in Maine.

“She knows this industry inside and out, and we’ll be in capable hands as we search for a permanent executive director.”

Matt Jacobson, the current executive director, is stepping down from his post effective Feb. 25.
