MTA Staff: A Commitment to Service

MTA is the largest local government association in Michigan and one of the largest in the United States. More than 6,500 elected township officials rely on MTA to not only effectively champion local authority, but to also help them build capacity to serve their growing populations efficiently, effectively and economically.

The MTA staff, consisting of 21 full-time employees, is committed to helping MTA's member township officials govern their townships more efficiently and improve the services they provide to Michigan’s four million-plus township residents.
