Transition, 2002

Transition 2002 documents the Granholm administration's transition to power following the 2002 gubernatorial election and is divided into two subseries: Director's Files (Lynn Jondahl) and Staff Files. Veteran Michigan lawmaker Lynn Jondahl served as the director of transition for the Granholm administration from November of 2002 through January of 2003. The Director's Files consist of the contents of binders related to the 2002 transition from the Engler administration to the Granholm administration. The Staff Files document the governor's inaugurations and plans regarding the staffing and organizational structure of the Office of the Governor. As a whole, this series provides a comprehensive yet succinct introduction to the Granholm administration's organizational structure.
