Workshops for Officials

The Michigan Association of Planning's education programs provide participants with the skills and knowledge to make better land use decisions. Our knowledgeable and experienced instructors enable newly elected and appointed officials to better understand their roles and responsibilities, and reacquaint experienced ones with innovative planning tools and techniques. In person workshops include a light meal. 

MAP's  workshops for officials series takes place in March.  In March 2026, over 400 officials attended in person and online training!  Check back in January 2027 for dates, topics, and locations.  

Check out our Event calendar for other great learning opportunities. The calendar is updated regularly with new events.

Our online store has publications and recorded webinars available for purchase.  

In addition, MAP's onsite workshops can be scheduled in your community.
