Nominate an inspiring leader in your township for the ‘Spirit of MTA’ award

Every day, dedicated public servants are shaping the future of Michigan townships through innovation, dedication and visionary leadership—paving the way for progress and positive change for their residents and their communities. Is there an elected official in your township who is leading the “Pathway to the Future”?  Nominate them for the “Spirit of MTA” award! We’ll honor the award recipient (or recipients!) at our Annual Educational Conference & Expo in April 2026. Our Annual Conference theme of “Pathway to the Future” signifies townships’ essential role in leading communities and our state to success, and nominations should highlight how the nominee’s public service reflects these efforts. To nominate a deserving leader in your township, complete the brief online nomination form, sharing how this individual inspires you. No board action is needed.
