Golden Township (Oceana Co.) Treasurer Connie Cargill will serve on the Michigan Townships Association (MTA) executive committee as the Association’s immediate past president, following her term as 2024 president. Serving more than 99% of Michigan’s 1,240 townships—which includes more than 6,500 elected leaders plus tens of thousands of additional township appointed officials, staff and volunteers, MTA is the largest municipal association in the state, and one of the largest in the nation.
Cargill, who has served as township treasurer since 1995, was first elected to the MTA Board of Directors in 2012.
“I am grateful for my time as president of the Michigan Townships Association, and look forward to continuing help lead this great organization this year as immediate past president,” Cargill said. “Over the past year, I have been privileged to travel the state and meet so many of our members—including those newly elected in November. It has been wonderful to see our unique townships—and the unity that we have among township government and within the Association.”
Cargill previously served as township deputy treasurer and is retired from the Oceana County Drain Office. She is currently a member of the Oceana County Land Bank Authority Board, treasurer of the Oceana County MTA Chapter, and chair of the Materials Management Planning Commission for the West Michigan 5-County Region. Cargill also serves on the Silver Lake and Lake Holiday Improvement Boards, and as a board member of the Oceana Agricultural Society.
