Community Connection

Welcome ... We're glad you stopped by to learn more about how MTA's online community can benefit you!

"Community Connection" is an online networking site targeted to address the needs of township officials by providing officials from all over Michigan the opportunity to learn from one another about trends and best practices.

Designed to replace the MTA listserv, this new tool provides a "virtual community" where township officials and other community leaders can gather 24/7, 365 days a year to exchange information and share files, including sample documents, with one another.

The new social media site will also provide a means for those with common interests to form special groups, where they can delve deeper into subject matter that is more specific to their needs. In addition, "Community Connection" will provide a forum for discussing issues of importance affecting all townships, with the opportunity to create blogs and participate in polls.

How to join the conversation

A free service to member townships, "Community Connection" is accessible through the home page on the MTA Web site (look for the "Community Connection" logo on the left-hand side) with one quick log-in. Township Allied Service Providers may also participate in the community.

Be as active as you would like-from posting questions to contributing sample documents and sharing ideas. Or, you may just prefer to listen in on the commentary. The choice is yours, and you can customize settings that deliver and manage the site to address your specific needs and wants, whether that's in real-time or digest form.
