WE are the People

The Michigan Municipal League is the one clear voice for Michigan communities, representing thousands of individuals in hundreds of communities across the state. When you become
involved with the League, our vast reach becomes your reach.
BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES…
Since the Michigan Municipal League’s founding in 1899, our mission has been to educate,
inspire, and proactively represent our member communities in order to help them build and
sustain highly livable, desirable, and unique places within our state. And we use every tool
at our disposal—education, advocacy, services, and events—to accomplish that mission.
The League also plays a key role in helping government decision-makers to build relationships with leaders in all the business and service industries that are essential to the operation of every municipality. We can all help build better communities for a better Michigan—
vibrant, sustainable places with unique identities and assets that truly put people first.
We invite you to be a part of that dynamic process.
