Michigan Green Communities (MGC) Michigan Green Communities (MGC) is a statewide network of local and state government staff and officials, and higher education institution staff who collaborate with one another, through peer learning and information sharing, to promote innovative sustainability, climate change, and environmental justice solutions at the local, state, regional, national, and international levels. MGC is led by a steering committee comprised of local government leaders and representatives from partnering state agencies and statewide organizations. • Michigan Green Communities Challenge o We use the term communities or municipalities when referring to the participants because they can be cities, villages, townships, or counties. o We have several partners on this program, and that’s how we refer to them (state agencies, other associations). o We use the term participants when talking about the roughly 45 communities who participate in the MGC Challenge. o We use the term network members when we refer to the larger group of communities, non-profits, and other related groups who get our outreach materials.
