LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

ELECTED OFFICIALS ACADEMY LEADERSHIP

We need your help! The League looks to members to lead in a variety of ways from specific legislative issue committees, to serving on an affiliate board, to moderating a session at the League’s events. Here are just some of the ways in which you can help your League and take your leadership skills to the next level. LEAGUE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Michigan Municipal League is supported by a strategic and passionate Board of Trustees who are a critical part of the League’s organizational structure. This 20-member Board guides the League’s internal workings and public policy with support from five legislative issue committees. To serve on the League board, letters of interest are accepted year-round and may be emailed to Dan Gilmartin, League Executive Director and CEO, at dpg@mml.org . LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES Legislative committees serve League members by providing general direction and legislative policy recommendations to the Board of Trustees and League staff on a variety of local government issues. Our advocacy efforts depend on input from the Legislative Governance Committee and five Policy Committees. General questions regarding legislative committees can be directed to Betsy Richardson, Capital Office Coordinator, at brichardson@mml.org .

The Elected Officials Academy (EOA) is committed to offering expanded educational programs for elected officials throughout the state to promote effective leadership in local government. The EOA board works closely with the League to oversee and administer the Elected Officials Academy. Individuals serving on the 18-member board must be active participating members of the EOA. Interested candidates may send a letter of interest to Emily Kieliszewski, Member Programs Manager, at emilyk@mml.org . MICHIGAN MUNICIPAL LEAGUE FOUNDATION LEADERSHIP The Michigan Municipal League Foundation is supported by a strategic and passionate Board of Directors who understand the importance of community investment. This Board is a combination of elected and appointed officials, philanthropic leaders, and corporate leaders. In addition to the Foundation Board of Directors, the Foundation receives guidance and expertise from a variety of Board sub-committees, grant funding juries, and more.
