All elected officials are encouraged to enhance their governing ability and knowledge by participating in the Elected Officials Academy. The classes are open to all elected officials. You may participate by enrolling in the Academy or by registering for selected courses. In this era of unprecedented change, citizens expect more of their elected officials. The public expects responsiveness and accountability at all levels of government.
Local government is more important than ever before.
People who are elected today must demonstrate their professionalism and integrity. It is the intent of the Elected Officials Academy to strengthen that professionalism, competency and quality in local leaders. The Michigan Municipal League has created the Elected Officials Academy to encourage local leaders to accept the challenge of learning on behalf of the municipality they serve. The Michigan Municipal League's Elected Officials Academy is a voluntary continuing education program established to encourage and recognize the efforts of local elected officials to become effective leaders. The Academy program was developed under the review of a volunteer advisory committee which recommended the creation of an Elected Officials Academy Advisory Board.
