Info

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.
