Monet Borione

MARQUETTE — A new person is taking over at the Bay Cliff Health Camp.

The Board of Directors of Bay Cliff Health Camp has announced it has completed a search for its next executive director, selecting Monet Borione. She succeeds Clare Lutgen, who has been the executive director of Bay Cliff since 2018.

After Lutgen retires Wednesday, Borione will assume responsibility for Bay Cliff, including personnel and facility management, the development, administration and supervision of Bay Cliff’s year-round programming, development and oversight of a balanced annual budget and leadership of Bay Cliff’s fundraising efforts, an institution press release states.

Born in Manistique and raised in the Upper Peninsula, Monet (Chartier) Borione graduated from Northern Michigan University with a bachelor of science degree in psychology and graduate coursework toward a master’s degree in organizational psychology at Roosevelt University in Chicago. She returned to Marquette with her family in 2015, where she served as a child welfare services specialist with the state of Michigan.

“Monet impressed us with her sincere desire to provide a safe, empowering experience for the children,” said Tami Seavoy, president of the board of directors. Borione will lead Bay Cliff into its next era as she cultivates strategic and collaborative partnerships across the Upper Peninsula and beyond.

The board will host a reception from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, Jan. 7, at the Holiday Inn Marquette, 1951 U.S. 41, Marquette, to allow the community to meet Borione and welcome her to the Bay Cliff family.
