Top 10 Reasons to Join MATS

1You’re a Township Supervisor in Michigan. Every Supervisor should be a member.

2No other organization offers several opportunities a year to network exclusively with other Supervisors while learning about issues important to the success and survival of your community.

3MATS offers educational opportunities designed to meet the increasingly complex information needs of Supervisors.

4MATS membership facilitates your ability to network with other Supervisors in your District
Encouraging Stronger Leadership in Rural Michigan since 1998.
Every profession has an association that facilitates networking and continuing education for its members. You have chosen to serve your community as its top elected official -- the township supervisor. You made the commitment to serve to the best of your ability, to be as professional as possible. You are required to make decisions on many complex issues about which you previously had no knowledge. There's a steep learning curve when you're new to local government, and MATS strives to keep your wheels on the road, and headed in the right direction.

Through education sessions targeted specifically to meet the indepth needs of Township Supervisors, MATS provides you with the information you need to make knowledgeable decisions on behalf of your constituents. MATS sessions are attended only by Supervisors, so you can learn and ask tough questions in a "safe" environment. 

In addition, the ability to join dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of other supervisors from all over Michigan in conversations about "what works," "what doesn't" and "how did you do that," will save you immeasurable time and eliminate frustration as you face the daily challenges of managing operations in your township. Many of our members rate the networking at conferences as the best value of membership. I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email at info@matsupervisors.org to share your suggestions on how MATS can better serve the needs of Michigan's Township Supervisors.
Membership in Your Association

Invite MATS to attend your local Supervisors meeting

Help us recruit other Supervisors to join MATS! The more members we have, the more valuable the networking experience is for all
members. If you have a county supervisors meeting or MTA chapter meeting, the MATS executive director or a board member would like to come tell the group
about MATS membership and upcoming education events. If possible, please give us a couple of weeks notice before the meeting.

Also, if you're looking for a presenter on a municipal topic, call MATS at 734-572-8776
for a suggestion.
