2021 Clerks' Professional Development Retreat

When:  Oct 13, 2021 from 09:00 to 16:00 (ET)
No one understands townships or your roles and responsibilities like the Michigan Townships Association. That’s why we created our unique Professional Development Retreats with education and information designed specifically for YOU! As a leader in your community, you are expected to have solutions for a wide variety of challenges. How do you ensure you’re equipped to anticipate, and develop strategies to overcome, virtually any situation that arises? Join MTA, your colleagues and other municipal experts from across the state at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth this October. You’ll walk away with insights  tailored to your role in the township and connections that will last a lifetime!

Content, connections and camaraderie
Each retreat offers a learning experience geared to your role on concepts, trends and pressing issues for townships.
