MTA can help in just one hour! Join us as we partner with MTA legal counsel for our next live webinar on June 14 at noon. You’ll gain insights into best practices for utilizing your townships legal counsel to ensure you are operating lawfully but also in a fiscally responsible manner. Explore issues specific to townships, including typical compensation scenarios, tips for avoiding unnecessary legal risks and more.Click here to register now.
MTA can help! We’re offering an online class June 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. This class was approved by the State Tax Commission to satisfy the P.A. 660 training mandate.

Register online now (discount will apply at checkout), or email elsa@michigantownships.org to sign up. Didn’t register previously, but ready to now?
