Michigan Townships Association

This app has information for MTA Events.

The Michigan Townships Association was formed in 1953 as a unified voice representing Michigan's township governments. Some 65 years later, we are the largest community of local government officials in the state, and one of the largest in the nation. More than 99 percent of Michigan townships are Association members, signifying their commitment to the continuation of strong, vibrant local government.

Among our member services are advocacy, representing township government before state and federal lawmakers and decision-makers, advocating for legislation and policies that benefit townships and against those harmful to local democracy; information, answering member questions on statutory requirements and providing advice and information on issues they face; and education, offering training and resources to build knowledge and skills related to the core competencies required of a township official.
