Michigan Townships Association

Professional Development Retreats

MTA Retreats are underway in Frankenmuth this month!

As a leader in your community, you are expected to have solutions for a wide variety of challenges. How do you ensure you are equipped to anticipate, and develop strategies to overcome, virtually any situation that arises?

MTA’s 2025 Professional Development Retreats are underway this month at the Bavarian Inn Lodge Conference Center, offering training that covers a wide variety of topics, and teaching valuable skills to township officials from across the state. Seats are still available but filling quickly for the remaining events, so be sure to register soon!

Trustees – Oct. 27-28
Planning & Zoning Team – Oct. 29-30  (some spots remaining!)

Retreat attendees will gain knowledge and perspective on a wide variety of issues, with each retreat tailored to their role in the township. But just as important as the knowledge are the connections made. Networking opportunities such as meals and the evening social event offer the chance to connect with fellow officials, to meet with vendors of popular products and services specific to townships, and to glean more insights from the municipal experts who teach each session. 

Use the links above to learn more about the Retreat geared for YOUR role at the township.
