Please join MAC and your fellow county leaders in Kalamazoo County Oct. 1-3 for the 2023 Michigan Counties Annual Conference to celebrate MAC’s 125th Anniversary.

In honor of MAC’s anniversary year, the annual President’s Banquet will be capped by music in the ballroom of the Radisson Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo.
Additional highlights for this year’s event are:
- A two-part, two-day dive into the details of Public Act 51, the state’s road funding formula via workshops held on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning
- Plenary sessions on affordable housing and bridging generational differences in the workplace,
- MAC’s Annual Business Meeting, during which members will review and approve MAC’s policy platforms for the coming year
- MAC Board elections, with four seats to be filled via decisions of regional caucuses on Oct. 2
The schedule of the conference is carefully crafted to respect members’ weekly schedule, with conference registration opening around noon Sunday and events concluding prior to hotel check-out on Tuesday morning.
