League members attend a committee meeting.
The Michigan Municipal League needs members to sign up for the League’s Legislative Governance Committee and/or one of the League’s six issue committees. If you are interested and haven’t done so already go here now to fill out the communittee interest form and email it to nbrown@mml.org. Interest forms should be submitted by Thursday, January 12.
The League’s Legislative Governance Committee is the “big picture” body that creates the League’s Legislative Agenda each two year legislative session cycle. This committee will debate and decide on broad legislative considerations for the MML. It will also work on proactive policy ideas. The Legislative Governance Committee meets two times a year: at the League’s Capital Conference and Annual Convention. Appointments to the Legislative Governance Committee are for two year, renewable terms. Each year, half of the terms are up for renewal.
The League’s Legislative Issue Committees serve a critical role in staff’s ability to effectively advocate on behalf of our member communities. They allow League staff to call on the expertise of our members to get answers, opinions and concerns to Legislators and their staff in a rapid manner. Each issue committee will have three to four set meeting dates each calendar year, of which, at least one will be a face to face meeting. The other set meetings will use the teleconference and web based technology currently being used by our issue committees. Along with these meeting dates, the committee members will have the ability to rapidly respond to League staff inquiries on bills via a ListServ for each committee. Appointments to the issue committees are for one year, renewable terms.
Fill out this committee interest form and then email it to nbrown@mml.org.
Nikki Brown is the Capital Office Coordinator for the League. She can be reached at nbrown@mml.org or 517-908-0305.
