Why should you be part of The Alliance?
Like your company, the Michigan Municipal League exists to serve local governments, and with more than 105 years of experience behind us, we’ve earned a solid reputation with local officials.

The Alliance was created to enable companies to partner with us in our mission to improve the quality of local government. From your marketing perspective, this program is designed to provide you with improved access to your primary market – Michigan’s city and village officials.

From the League’s perspective, the program is designed to nurture a field of experts that we can call on when we need assistance in a number of areas – answering members’ questions, speaking at seminars and convention sessions, writing articles for our magazine, developing resource material for our web site, collaborating on publications, and more.

If you want to increase your visibility with local governments in Michigan, take a look at The Alliance and the marketing tools that are part of the program. If you’re marketing actively to local governments through advertising and exhibiting, the discounts our Alliance participants receive on those tools quickly pay back the enrollment fee. No one knows your company better than you do. No one knows local government better than the Michigan Municipal League. We will be happy to recommend marketing tools to help your business grow in Michigan.
