Good Governance

Every day, municipal leaders—elected and appointed—give of themselves to make Michigan’s communities thriving, safe, and welcoming places. To earn and keep the public’s trust and foster strong civic engagement, local leaders must be ethical, transparent, inclusive, and accountable in providing public services.
