Were you handed a nice set of township policies when you began your career as a township official? Is your township prepared to provide them to incoming officials? Most people serve their township because they want to give back to their community. One of the best ways to do that is to leave the township better than you found it by setting up future leaders for success. Clearly defined township policies ensure incoming officials understand how (and why!) things work the way they do. What better way to leave a legacy in your township than establishing effective policies and procedures.
