Our Mission - Better communities. Better Michigan.

The Michigan Municipal League is the one clear voice for Michigan communities. Through advocacy at the State and Federal level, we proactively represent municipalities to help them sustain highly livable, desirable, and unique places within the state. We create and offer our members services and events that range from traditional to cutting edge, in order to help educate and inspire them to remain focused on their passion for the area they represent. We are a non-profit, but we act with the fervor of entrepreneurs; our people are dynamic, energetic and highly approachable, passionately and aggressively pushing change for better communities.

About the MML

The Michigan Municipal League has been providing training to city and village officials and employees for over 25 years. We provide approximately 80 training programs a year on topics such as the Michigan Open Meetings Act, Basic Accounting, Parliamentary Procedure, Managing Negativity in the Workplace, Downtown Development, Excavation Safety, Customer Service and Supervisory Skills to name a few.

In addition to our regularly scheduled training programs, we offer on-site training programs to our membership. As we get requests for on-sites, we work with our speakers to customize their programs for a particular municipality. The League will work with the speaker to discuss rates (if applicable) and dates and schedule the program with the municipality. The speaker must be willing to travel to the community on an agreed upon date, provide an approved program and work directly with the MML for reimbursement of applicable expense and program evaluation.

The MML schedules seminars approximately six months in advance. We are eager to expand our topics and roster of speakers.
