Michigan Municipal League January/February 2024 Review Magazine

125th Anniversary

Still A Grassroots Organization As municipal problems became more complex, the League increased the scope and depth of its services. Shared problem solving and cooperation continue to drive operations, and cresting its 125th year, the League remains a grassroots organization. Municipal representatives develop policies through committees, and these are adopted by member municipalities annually. The League is directed by a board of 20 elected trustees who represent large and small municipalities in all parts of Michigan. Today the League represents more than 500 full-service cities, villages, and urban townships. Members count on the League to educate, advocate, and inspire their work as public servants.
