Mike Wilson

Growing up in a house of attorneys, Mike learned the importance of clarity from an early age. Many dinner conversations were spent wrangling over the accurate usage and meaning of words. Mike delved into the family thesaurus to ensure he could express himself clearly and intelligently. Those friendly discussions over correct verbiage instilled in him a love of language that he has carried into his professional career.

As the director of compliance at Michigan Saves, Mike employs his penchant for precise wording to ensure the organization adheres to multitudinous federal, state, and local regulations. He oversees the compliance management and program reporting functions and conducts risk assessments and internal audits for conformity with relevant laws and directives. Mike also serves as the technical expert on all reporting requirements for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.

Mike came to Michigan Saves from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, where he served as a financial compliance specialist for nearly seven years. He conducted compliance audits of Michigan Works! agencies and other nonprofits across the state of Michigan. He also chaired the infrastructure funding agreement program, which encourages local government partners and nonprofits to contribute to the upkeep and operation of workforce development centers statewide.
