The Maine Municipal Association is a non-profit,
non-partisan organization with a voluntary membership of all but
one of the State's 493 cities, towns, plantations and organized
townships. It is governed by a 12-member Executive Committee made
up of elected and appointed municipal officials. The Committee appoints
an Executive Director to manage the affairs of the Association.
Since its inception in 1937, it has always been, and continues
to be our goal to provide a unified voice of Maine's municipalities
to promote and strengthen local government. Members of our staff
frequently appear before state agencies and legislative committees
to testify on rules, regulations, and proposed legislation affecting
our member municipalities and ultimately the citizens of Maine.
On a daily basis, municipalities can receive crucial assistance
in the performance of their many duties, including: legal opinions
from the association's six attorneys; information and counsel on
a vast array of personnel issues; general assistance advisory; retrieval
of information from our Resource Center, and publications of the
Maine Townsman, legal handbooks and manuals,
and the Legislative Bulletin when the
Legislature is in session. We also sponsor and cosponsor workshops
throughout the State of Maine to better enable municipal officials
and employees to perform their many duties.
