2016-Softball-game-600x250
Several members attending the Summer Workshop showed off their softball skills at Dow Diamond, home of the Great Lakes Loons, against the local women’s u-18 select team, Line Drive Express. While the MLGMA Mashers came up one run short, nobody required an ambulance and we think that’s as good as a win!

 

The theme for the 2016 Summer Workshop was “Culture Beats Luck.” Managers got together for several days of education, networking, and fun. Some of the sessions included:

  • MLGMA/MME Branding Update
  • Effective Engagement in the Digital Era
  • If Ethics Matter, Culture Matters More
  • University Resources to Local Governments
  • What Managers Should Know About Planning, and How it Can Make Your Life Easier
