• Women represent just 16% of Michigan’s local chief administrative officers. This leadership gap is inexcusable. We’re doing something about it. Highly qualified women entering the field encounter barriers in the selection process. The next generation of female leaders is being left untapped. Aspiring managers are eager for development opportunities to advance and prepare them for greater responsibilities. Through the 16/50 Project, the Michigan Municipal League is working to address these issues. Donate to the 16/50 program today and help increase the number of women serving at the highest executive level of government.
  

• The LIFT Initiative is a $5 million multiyear effort to strengthen and inspire communities across the state. LIFT will provide tools for League member communities that allow local leaders to test new ideas, build cross-sector relationships, and meet community needs without having to subscribe to a “one size fits all” solution.
