It’s time to get your learn
on…Christine Burns | MME President
In a mere two weeks’ time, we will gather again at the Summer Workshop to network and learn and solve all of the challenges we face each day as municipal executives.

Truth be told, I find the networking opportunities to be just as valuable as the sessions. Don’t get me wrong; I always learn something in those sessions, but it’s the lunchtime chatter and those conversations over beverages in the evenings that are invaluable. Read more.

Question … “What Does Success Look Like?”Frank Walsh | Chair, Member Success Committee
Two weeks ago, Meridian Township welcomed our newest management intern. Will Christie, who grew up in St. Joseph, is a senior at MSU. Will’s goal (dream) is to become a city manager. During our initial discussion, Will asked me an interesting question. “For those of us just entering the city manager field, what advice would you give to help us be successful over the next 30 years?” I thought to myself, that’s an interesting question and fits right into MME’s Member Success Committee.
