87 days and counting. Prepare yourself for #MMLCon26 by marking these key dates on your calendars

Is your city or town anticipating a sizable turnover in elected officials this spring? Would they benefit from engaging in a facilitated team-building dialogue, discussion of roles and responsibilities, as well as a goal-setting exercise to get everyone on the same page?  The Maryland Municipal League has helped more than a dozen member municipalities get their newly elected officials’ terms off to a productive and collaborative start. Standard retreats are five hours long with a facilitation fee of $2,500 for members with populations of 10,000 or less and $4,000 for those with more than 10,000 residents. For more information, contact MML Director of Leadership Development and retreat facilitator Tom Reynolds at [email protected].

MML is thrilled to announce that we are seeking to sponsor League members with under 5,000 population for the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Circuit Rider Manager Program who do not already have a sponsor entity. This program allows small municipalities to form regional circuits and share a manager/administrator to assist your municipality. Instead of seeking out partners and sponsors, MML will now step in to fulfill this role on behalf of your municipality.

MML will host a webinar to go into further detail about this opportunity on February 13, at noon. Please register here.

Strong communities don’t happen by chance - they’re built through shared purpose and trusted relationships. To serve residents at the highest level, we rely on businesses, associations, and experts who bring insight, innovation, and experience. Our members are always looking ahead, and through your partnership, they gain guidance, build lasting connections, and turn solutions into real impact.

Registration for MMLCon26 opens in a month, so now is the time to prepare. With exciting things planned for the 90th celebration, you don't want to miss out.
