Do you anticipate new board members after the midterm election? Have you had any new members join since the term started? Send them to our New Officials Training and we’ll give them what they need to succeed! We can help them hit the ground running with this full-day class offering insights into the “hows and whys” of township government and exploring the duties and responsibilities of a township board. It’s a great refresher for those changing office too. Download a registration form here or register online now.
Does your township’s assessing measure up?The township board is responsible for financing and managing the assessment process. You cannot take a hands-off approach or make the mistake of assuming that the job is covered—if something goes wrong, the township board (not the assessor) will be held responsible. Don’t wait until your board is faced with the state’s audit of assessing practices, take the wheel now! Join us in December for What Every Board Member Needs to Know About Assessing. This half-day event is geared for every member of your township board, regardless their level of experience. Learn more here or register online now.
That’s right and we’re hosting two classes this year, one approved by the State Tax Commission to satisfy the P.A. 660 training mandate AND one for those who’ve already met the requirements for the two-year cycle.

You’ll walk away with critical insights, even if you’ve been on the board of review for years! Registration materials are coming soon, but you can save the date for these half-day classes now:
