YOU can join hundreds of local government officials from across the state in Holland, where you don’t need a passport to enjoy this unique city on the shores of Lake Michigan. From its award-winning downtown to its white sandy beaches and quaint Dutch village, Holland is filled with small town charm and big city amenities. It’s also home to the famous Tulip Time Festival, winner of USA Today’s 2016 Best Flower Festival award.

The Michigan Municipal League’s 2017 Convention will be held in downtown Holland, which is both historic and hip in nature. As you walk to sessions in a variety of downtown locales, you’ll pass first class shopping and dining, creative arts venues, and traditional Victorian architecture.

In this European-inspired setting, here are just some of the opportunities you’ll have to hone your leadership skills:

• Learn how to make ethics an integral part of your leadership style
• Explore partnering with the business sector to boost the vibrancy of your community
• Absorb the lessons presented by relevant U.S. Supreme Court decisions
• Unearth the power of beautifying your city with flowers, trees, and other environmental and lifestyle enhancements
• And much more!

Come see why Downtown Holland earned the “Great American Mainstreet” award and the accolades of thousands of tourists every year! Join us in Holland, Sept. 13-15, for a Convention experience you’ll never forget. Register today!
