Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
The MMA will hold a spring series of five Legislative Briefing meetings on March 4, 7, 11, 14 and 16.
The MMA is holding the free meetings for different regions across the state to give local leaders, legislators and MMA staff the opportunity to network in an informal setting, exchange information, and discuss issues of importance in state and local government.
The 2021-2022 legislative session is in its second year, and the MMA is tracking hundreds of bills that would affect cities and towns. Relevant bills will be discussed, along with topics such as the fiscal 2023 state budget, a COVID recovery package and ARPA funding, Chapter 90 local roads funding, special pandemic-related provisions affecting city and town operations, health care, economic development, and other priorities.
City and town officials from every community are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss local successes and challenges and to give input on the MMA’s legislative priorities.
Introductions will begin at 12 p.m., followed by presentations and Q&A, and the meetings will end by 1:15 p.m.
Register for Monday, March 14 briefing: Essex and Suffolk counties
The meetings are free to attend, but members will need to register in advance.
Attendees are urged to contact their local legislators and invite them to attend as well.
