The Michigan Township Association has established (how?) criteria for being an excellent Township. Only about 3 of 1240 Michigan Townships have applied for this and been awarded recognition. Of course it is possible that some townships meet all the criteria but see no reason to apply, but leave it up to their residents to judge. Former Trustee Maureen Thalmann suggested in a board reports comment that we pursue this. It was never discussed in public. One Board member commented that sometimes pursuing to get a box checked may lead to “fake conformance”. I’ve seen that.

Nevertheless we are, in my view, far short of the criteria which can be seen here on the MTA website.
