Successful Outcomes.

We all have a stake in the quality of decisions made by our community leaders. Development, recreational facilities, policing, transportation . . . Every day, elected officials make decisions that impact the lives of individual citizens in powerful and pervasive ways. Likewise, business organizations depend on local officials to create a safe and orderly community – one that offers reliable transit systems and infrastructure, water and utilities, efficient waste disposal systems, fire and police protection, sensible regulations and much more.

For over a century, the Michigan Municipal League (MML) has been serving those who serve the citizens of our state. As one of the oldest, strongest and most successful organizations of its kind in the country, we have been a continuing source of high-quality training programs for municipal officials.

The Michigan Municipal League Foundation was formed in 1991 to help expand and subsidize educational programs for elected officials throughout the state. As a non-profit organization, the Foundation uses donations from individuals, civic groups, businesses and philanthropic foundations to provide community leaders with vital information on an ongoing basis and to present that information in convenient and affordable formats.

Plans call for a variety of courses on topics that directly impact local government. Examples of possible subjects include: Roles and Responsibilities of Office; Risk Management; Economic Development; Affordable Housing; and Emergency Management. These training programs will be offered through a combination of workshops, computer-based learning modules, and interactive, real-time “ webinars.”

With your help, we can achieve MML’s vision of highly motivated, well-trained community leaders who have continual access to the specialized knowledge they need for sound, effective decision making.
