The MMA and Suffolk University will hold an information session for their Municipal Fellowship Program on Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. To register for the Zoom session, visit www.mma.org/events.
The Municipal Fellowship Program was launched last year by Suffolk University in partnership with the MMA to offer significant support to municipal managers and professionals to attend Suffolk’s master’s in public administration program at its Sawyer School of Business.
The fellowship program will provide a scholarship of up to $28,000 while the recipient’s municipality commits to continuing their salary and position while they attend the program part-time. The application will be available on the MMA-Suffolk programs web page in early January. The application deadline is May 1 at 5 p.m.
Applicants must already be accepted for admission to the master’s in public administration program and receive the support of the chief municipal official in their municipality. Consideration will be given to graduates of the MMA-Suffolk Certificate in Local Government Leadership and Management program.
Certificate Program
The MMA and Suffolk University will hold Zoom information sessions for upcoming Certificate in Local Government Leadership and Management programs on March 9 at 10 a.m. and March 16 at 2 p.m.
The two sessions will cover the same information. To register, visit www.mma.org/events.
In September 2022, the MMA and Suffolk University will launch the 19th and 20th Certificate programs.
The graduate-level academic program provides a solid grounding in municipal management, and covers topics such as human resources management, budgeting and financial management, and strategic leadership.
The program is held over the course of 25 Fridays from September through May. The MMA expects to be back in-person in September 2022.
The program application will be available on the MMA website on Feb. 1, and the deadline to apply is April 30.
