Invested in this community
June 2, 2026Chris and Elizabeth Wren
Chris and Elizabeth Wren moved to Newaygo County from the east side of the state nearly a decade ago. While their move was prompted by Chris’s job as county administrator, they have embraced the sense of community, slower pace, and outdoor opportunities they found here. “We’re very fortunate to be in Newaygo County,” said Chris. “It was a big change for us, but the more we’re here, the more we appreciate what it has to offer.”
As part of their commitment to this community, Chris—who serves on our board—and Elizabeth joined Our Next 75. “We know that through the Community Foundation a little can go a long way,” said Elizabeth. “We want to set an example for our son so he can learn the importance of giving too.”
“It’s all about being part of a community,” said Chris. “We’re invested in this community. We chose to raise our son here. We want to see this community grow and thrive.”
