Oct 1, 2024 | Blog, Events, Legislative, MAC news, Marketing

The Michigan Association of Counties is again pleased to partner with Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) to present the New Commissioner School (NCS) courses in the weeks after the Nov. 5 General Election.

Registration and online course content for the school is now available! This program has been preparing new and veteran commissioners since 1968. Participants will explore governance complexities, understand their roles, learn about county finance and develop strategies for effective decision-making and collaboration.

The 2024 NCS includes self-paced online modules or live webinars in November, followed by in-person workshops in December. Participants should plan to complete either the self-paced content or the live webinars AND attend one of the in-person workshops in order to receive their certificate of completion from MSU Extension and County Commissioner Academy credits from MAC.

The December live locations are:

  • Dec. 2 – Bavarian Inn and Conference Center, One Covered Bridge Lane, Frankenmuth (to allow for onsite preparation registration closes Nov. 25)
  • Dec. 3 – BayPointe Inn, 11456 Marsh Rd., Shelbyville (to allow for onsite preparation registration closes Nov. 25)
