Michigan Municipal League November/December 2023 Review Magazine

HIGHLIGHTS

The energy never stopped at this year’s Convention in beautiful Traverse City. General session speakers had attendees building real-time word clouds, realizing the positive influence of public art and a few cans of paint, learning about the power of place in industries like agritourism, and appreciating that ‘garden hose solutions’ to community needs are often within reach and within budget. The spirit of collaboration and engagement rolled right into the Community Excellence Award “Race for the Cup” and celebration of this year’s leadership award winners. We’re already looking forward to the conversations

and aha moments we’ll have together on Mackinac Island, September 11-13, 2024.
