Work together as a municipality to help strengthen their membership league.
Foster goodwill by educating youth about municipal government.
Maximize their MML membership by taking part in league programs and activities.
Ensure the voice of their municipality is heard on issues relevant to the membership and in matters of legislative priorities.Fifty-nine of the state’s 124 municipalities received the designation in 2016. The towns and cities receiving the designation this year were honored at MML’s annual summer convention, held June 25-28 in Ocean City.
