Sign up now for the 2025 Michigan Counties Legislative Conference in Lansing

Feb 6, 2025 | Blog, Events, Legislative, MAC news

The 2025 Michigan Counties Legislative Conference will be held April 7-9, 2025, at the DoubleTree Hotel in Lansing.

The event, co-hosted by the Michigan County Medical Care Facilities Council, will feature a new format that ensures no MAC member misses any informational session that interests them.

This year, those sessions will include updates on such issues as cybersecurity, Michigan’s housing crunch, road funding options, the state’s juvenile bed shortage and much more! All of these educational sessions will be plenary sessions, meaning no overlapping events or choices to be made.

Special events at the conference include:

  • A Strolling Dinner on the opening night for mingling with colleagues and MAC’s Premier Corporate Partners
  • A Legislative Reception, during which MAC will honor its “Legislative Advocates” for 2024
  • Presentation of certificates to members of the 2025 class of County Commissioner Academy

Member pricing for the conference is $425 for all events, though one- and two-day packages are available. Any elected or appointed county official or member of MCMCFC may use member pricing.

MAC has secured a room block at the DoubleTree, with a per-night rate of $189. To secure that hotel rate, register directly with the hotel by clicking here.

We look forward to seeing you at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Lansing!
