Michigan Municipal League Membership Guide 2023

ELECTED OFFICIALS ACADEMY The Elected Officials Academy is an exclusive continuing education program established to link elected officials with development opportunities and recognize their efforts to become more effective leaders. In this four-level recognition program, officials earn credits in a combination of program components designed to develop skills, knowledge, and experience. Taking courses, attending conferences, legislative advocacy, and service in leadership roles—whether at the League or elsewhere—all earn credit toward recognition levels. Participation in the Academy is open to individuals serving as elected officials in League member communities. ON-SITE TRAINING The League offers personalized, on-site training on a variety of topics brought directly to individual communities.
