Key details for MTA’s online Board of Review Training classes

Due to the state’s requirements for online training, specific protocols must be met in order for Board of Review members to receive credit for attending MTA’s online P.A. 660 Required Training. (Note that the MTA Advanced Board of Review class does not qualify to meet the STC requirement under P.A. 660.)

Here are key details for all participants:

• A confirmation including the Zoom link and handouts for this class will be sent via email to all registered participants with an email on file, about a week prior to the session you registered for; please check your junk/spam folders if you don’t see it in your inbox. A reminder will be emailed again the day prior to the class. Need to update your email address? Contact MTA at 517-321-6467 ext. 221.
• Links to handouts/materials are found below and may be downloaded and/or printed in advance. Links were also sent via email and will be posted in the Zoom chat during the event.
  • • • 2025 BoR Presentation
      • BoR Forms & Resources Packet
      • State BoR Training Manual

    • PLEASE NOTE: All course materials are proprietary and may not be further distributed without prior written consent from the Michigan Department of Treasury.

• Individuals must have their computer camera on AND remain visible for the duration of the class to receive a certificate. We recommend updating Zoom to the newest version then running a Zoom test meeting to ensure your camera and audio are working prior to the date of the event.
• Those watching as a group must:
  
  1. Enter the names of every participant in the contact info form when signing in to Zoom. Each individual MUST be registered with MTA to receive credit for attending.
  2. Complete the required group attendance form to sign in and out of class. Be sure to choose the correct form for your class date!
     Download the Feb. 6 group form here. 
     Download the Feb. 18 group form here.
     Download the Feb. 28 group form here.
  3. Ensure the attendance form is signed by the elected official or assessor verifying the attendance and participation of the group. the form will NOT be accepted without a valid signature. 
  4. Immediately following class, send the completed form to education@michigantownships.org.

• Whether you attend individually or as a group, you must complete the required quiz to receive credit for the class. A link will be posted in the “Chat” during class and emailed to you after class. One quiz may be completed for groups watching together; please complete the quiz using the same name/township and email address used for your group Zoom login.
• Certificates will be emailed to the address on file for each participant when available, typically about 2 weeks after class. (For groups, all certificates will be sent to the email used to login to Zoom.)

Refer to your event confirmation, which will be sent about a week prior to the event, for additional tips. For troubleshooting login issues the day of the event, or for other assistance, contact MTA at 517-321-6467. 

Please note that phone lines may be very busy the day of each online event; we strongly suggest you update Zoom AND run a test several days ahead of time on the computer you plan to use, and ensure you can access the link from that device, to reduce the likelihood of issues the day of the training.
