The Michigan Association
of Regions (MAR) is a membership organization representing the fourteen
(14) state planning and development regions; and is involved in advocacy
and service to its members.
Local Governmental Units Come Together to Promote
Your Michigan Campaign
The Michigan Council of Local Governments (MCOLG)
comprised of the Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Association of
Regions (represented by SEMCOG), Michigan Association of School Boards, Michigan
Municipal League, and the Michigan Township Association launch the Your
Michigan ¾ Live, Learn, Work, Play ¾ campaign.
Your Michigan focuses on the services ¾ from roads and recreational
programs to education and public safety ¾ local government units provide to
families across the state. Examples of these services include:
- Your community operates recreational programs
and facilities for you and your families.
- Your public schools prepare students for a
global economy and attract families, business and commerce.
- Your 115,000 miles of roads are paved and
maintained for safe commutes to work and schools, to visit relatives
or to go on vacation.
- Your local police and fire departments make
neighborhoods a safe place to live.
“Michigan is a great place to live, learn, work
and play, and it’s because of the incredible public services that
taxpayer dollars, local governments and elected officials provide,”
said Justin King, Executive Director of the Michigan Association of School
Boards and Chair of MCOLG.
Look for multiple materials distributed by the members
of MCOLG that highlight the various services you receive in return for your
tax dollars. These services are the foundation that collectively support
your ability to live, learn, work and play in the Michigan community you
call home.
The purpose of this campaign is to emphasize return on
the dollar for taxpayers. The Michigan associations representing
local-level governmental units established MCOLG to identify opportunities
for collaboration and to leverage the strength of each organization’s
advocacy efforts.
