MML is proud to have Community Partners that not only forge relationships with members but also take their concerns and insight into consideration when shaping future work. We ask that you take a few moments to assist the Schaefer Center for Public Policy at The University of Baltimore, by completing the survey below.

Dear Members,

Nominations are now being solicited for the 2025-2026 MML Board of Directors for both At-Large voting positions (10) and President-Elect, all of whom are elected by a majority of member municipalities and announced at the 2025 Annual Business Meeting on Tuesday, June 24th at the MML Summer Conference. Completed applications are now being accepted and must be received by 5:00 p.m. on May 30th, 2025, with no exceptions.

The nomination period for those interested in joining an MML standing committee is open! Do you have a passion for helping to plan the Summer Conference? How about engaging our members, or being involved in the advocacy side of operations? Our Conference Planning Committee, Engagement & Outreach Committee, and Legislative Committee are now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 year. 

Elevate Presence. Build Relationships. Provide Solutions. 

In today's day and age, most of our introductions and interactions are electronic. This can often make it difficult for businesses to truly get their message across and collaborate with clients. As experts in your field, your insight and first-hand knowledge is something that the League depends on. Our 161 local governments tackle challenges daily and rely on specialists while navigating these challenges. 

With the 2025 MML Summer Conference right around the corner, now is the time to be thinking of how you plan to stand out. We'll make it easy, with our Summer Conference Sponsorships. Prominent exposure, networking opportunities, and brand visibility are just a few of our sponsorship benefits.

MML wishes to congratulate Hagerstown City Administrator, MML Board Member, and longtime volunteer, Scott Nicewarner, on his acceptance into Leadership Maryland. This class focuses on vital issues impacting economic development, education, health and human services, criminal justice, the environment, and multi-culturalism/diversity across the State. 

The most anticipated event for Maryland's Mayors is right around the corner. The Annual Maryland Mayors Winter Conference will be held March 6-7, 2025, with a special event taking place on the evening of March 5th. The MMA is the direct connection between Maryland's 161 local governments and the 2 million Marylanders our Mayors serve. This event will help you better serve your constituents through education on emerging issues, advocacy efforts and engaging State leaders. 

At the Maryland Municipal League, we believe in the power of collaboration and identifying solutions as an essential tool for the communities we serve and beyond those borders. Our Community Partnerships allows us both to serve families, employees, external stakeholders, and shared constituents as we forge a path ahead. When our Partners invest in the League, they're not just contributing to the growth of our cities and towns, they're securing the future of our great State. Welcome, MML's 2025 Community Partners:

Thank you to all nominees that placed their names on the ballot for the 2024-2025 MML Board of Directors. Following both online and in person voting, we are proud to announce the following Board Members, who will serve during the 2024-2025 Board year:  

ezVOLTz, one of MML's Community Partners is excited to announce that ezVOLTz has won a contract to be one of the suppliers for the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint EV Charging Solutions contract.

The selection process was led by the State of Maryland and affords local governments the opportunity to streamline the procurement process. As ezVOLTz traveled the State over the past year and visited many of the municipalities, the need for the creation of Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and the procurement process was one of the top concerns raised by many local governments and this contract vehicle helps address that process. 

Hot off the press! MML's Community Partner, VC3, has just launched their newest guide, "An IT Disaster Recovery Blueprint for Municipal Leaders". The guide catalogs a list of common, as well as seasonal, geography-specific, and rare disasters. Additionally, it outlines the likely impact on a municipality, and arms municipal leaders with a checklist to ensure you are equipped to quickly recover from any disaster. 

We are delighted to see so many of our Strategic Partners joining us for the MML Summer Conference this month! Many have booths in the expo hall and are a great resource for municipal leaders. As experts in their fields, please be sure to stop by and get to know each one. All Partners can easily be spotted, as they have a blue ribbon on their booth.
